Cabbage is nutritious and easy to prepare, but it can cause health problems for some people. Here’s who should be wary:
1. People with thyroid disorders
Cabbage contains goitrin , which can interfere with thyroid function and cause swelling of the gland.
Those suffering from goiter or thyroid problems should limit their consumption of cabbage.
Tip: Soak the cabbage leaves in salted water for 10-15 minutes, then chop them finely to reduce the goiter before eating.

2. People with a fragile digestive system
2. Persone con apparato digerente fragile
Le fibre del cavolo possono agire come un « bulldozer » eliminando la stitichezza, ma possono peggiorare i sintomi negli intestini sensibili o nella diarrea.
Se soffrite di problemi digestivi, evitate il cavolo e scegliete invece verdure più delicate, come carote cotte o zucchine al vapore.
