GOODNESS
Cabbage: This big head of leaves is from the ancient family of brassica that includes broccoli, Brussels sprouts, chard, kohlrabi and bok choy. When it is cooked a bit too long, these veggies will give off an odor of rotten eggs. That's due to the sulfur compounds that make them all so healthy, so you have to take the good with the bad. These handy chemicals are cancer fighters that work by pushing potential cancer-causing cells to commit suicide. In addition, they contain antioxidants and help prevent cardiovascular disease. They are also full of vitamins and minerals, so get some cabbage into your diet. The only warning is to people with hypothyroidism, who shouldn't overindulge.
