I'm always a little too ready to dismiss this kind of thing as obnoxious, Korean nationalistic jingoism: Kimchi recognized as top 5 health food ; however, the Health Magazine online really did have kimchi in its top 5. Of course, it doesn't list it as a cure for bird flu or SARS. Still, I would like to apologize to all of Korea for ever doubting it.

Keep doubting. All research on kimchi seems to be done in Korea and that magazine is just swallowing it all in good faith. I just can't see Korean researchers publishing anything negative about kimchi without being tarred and feathered (or whatever the equivalent would be here in Korea).
I suspect it's relatively healthy, but far short of the panacea Korea fervently wants it to be.
