Mind-blowing gut news from UC Davis microbiologists: Plain old sauerkraut (fermented cabbage) can actually shield your intestinal lining from inflammation damage
Raw cabbage? Zero protection.
Just the salty brine? Nope, not enough.
In lab tests with human gut cell models, sauerkraut extracts kept the barrier strong and reduced damage from inflammatory cytokines. Unfermented cabbage? No dice.
It’s the full fermentation magic that creates powerful metabolites, like lactic acid, GABA, and unique amino acid derivatives, that your gut cells recognize and thrive on.
A small daily serving (just a forkful or two!) might help build a more resilient digestive system—especially paired with plenty of fiber.
Fermented foods never stop surprising us. Who’s adding more kraut to their plate this week?

Iran fired a pair of intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-UK base in the Indian Ocean.
One missile failed in flight, and another was engaged by a US Navy destroyer using an SM-3 missile.

Bigger story here: implied range of an Iranian IRBM from a launch box in central Iran, with a range of ~4500 km (distance to Diego Garcia).
Theoretically could also target sites into Central Europe.
There’s a reason why the U.S.com/NATO parked what is effectively an Arleigh Burke class DDG in a Romanian field.
