Cabbage contains goitrogens, a naturally-occuring substance in certain foods that can interfere with the functioning of the thyroid gland. If u have an existing goiter and it is untreated, i think it is best to avoid eating cabbage. If you are healthy and have no thyroid problems, then you can eat cabbage, and it is not true that excessive eating of this veggie will lead to goiter. It in the genes, if your family has a history of this disease, then you are predispose to having this disease too.
