Prashu228, who said that stones are formed in the gall bladder if we eat more cabbage? That's a hoax. Cabbage is a leafy vegetable and it contains a lot of nutrients and vitamins in it. You can actually lose weight from eating soup out of cabbage.

Hello prashu and welcome to myLot. I don't know where you got your information about cabbage being unhealthy for you but everything I have read says that cabbage is good for you. It can prevent or help fight cancer according to some health sites. These are your green leafy type vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, broccoli, brussel sprouts etc.

I haven't heard anything like that. Maybe hose people who are prone to have gall bladder stones should be careful, but I doubt that it would be common. Actually cabbage is very healthy, it's good for the digestive system, can be part of cancer prevention, and can help heal wounds. It's a great food.

It is so sad that people like you and me find these things out too late. Cabbage is very healthy, but to me there are no disadvantages. I like to eat it raw and cooked. It is wonderful when it is seasoned right. I had gallbladder problems too, and I had to get mine removed. I have pretty much became a vegan now because I can't handle meat too much.

I wonder where did you get that? If it's a really reliable source and if it's based on something scientific, I might believe. But right now, I still believe that everything that cabbages does to our body is just for good.
