Sure, it helps, and makes you feel good besides, but it strikes me as arrogant to claim it grants near perfect immunity. I always hope for their sake they are right, that they do indeed shrug it off, live long, and prosper. But, as I wrote, you won't catch me declaring it for myself.

There are other factors, both known and unknown that go into the equation of long life, such as stress reduction/management, exercise, adequate sleep, good genes, etc. One can abide by all the rules, but still get caught by some nasty virus or other little beastie. But having decent nutrition goes a long way to a good immune system. I so appreciate your viewpoint that diet makes one invulnerable to whatever “bug du jour” is currently out there.
