I put red cabbage in my daily salad. It's sweet, crunchy, so satisfying. Instead of a snack before preparing lunch, I eat some of the cut up cabbage that I am cutting for the salad, it tastes wonderful and again satisfies me in between meals. I also skipped salt, even a dash, a while ago and replaced it with nutritional yeast and what a difference, I lost a few lbs already (retaining water was a thing). My daily salad is usually cabbage, kale, mushrooms, bell pepper and some lettuce, frisée was my go to as much as I could get it here in California and in season (grew up in France, frisée is so special), now it's gone so buttered lettuce or else, a strip or two of tempeh (depending on my activities of the day, my vehicle is a bicycle so if I know I'll bike more that day I'll add one more tempeh strip!). I used to eat more micro greens and spouts and need to get back at it. I eat a slice of rye bread every day and sometimes make my own. Thank you Dr. Greger!
Just got a cabbage in my weekly veggie and fruit box delivery. And it’s a purple cabbage. Growing broccoli microgreens right now. Been eating lots of sprouts but thought I’d try them as microgreens. You should do an episode on microgreens. They’re a superfood! Tip: broccoli sprouts are more palatable if grown in a salad mix of clover and other sprouts.
Love hearing about sprouting! I have a small condo with little space & yet I get maximum nutrition for pennies a day, from my sprouts. Living foods are the best source for acquiring good health.
The lowly cabbage is my favorite cruciferous vegetable. While not necessarily the best, it does everything well! It's very easy to cut, it's inexpensive & widely available, it preserves well, and it's excellent for nutrition. I especially recommend it if you are having "plumbing problems"; it literally cleans you out.
This is so strange...I don't usually juice much any more, but I had lots of cabbage that I wanted to use up so instead of my morning smoothie, I juiced all the cabbage, some wilted celery, a cuke and 1/4 apple with ginger and turmeric. Black pepper and a splash of almond milk. Sat down and this came up. My juice is really yummy! Go figure.
I would recommend shredding the cabbage with a medium hand shredder. You get much better access to the nutrients. If you leave it in large chunks you absorb less....
When on radiation therapy for breast cancer someone told me about cabbage leaf and it worked so much better for the itching than the 75.00$ worth of creams and lotion I bought
I was always told cabbage leaves were for weaning. Put cold ones in my bra made me stop having mastitis. I stopped for a day, at work, and had an inflamed duct. Used the leaves, it went away. I had no expectations of it working, and felt silly. Antidotal, I know.
A tasty coleslaw....grate the following....Red cabbage, Brussel sprouts & Apple, dollop on vegan mayo and a sprinkle if cayenne...wow....flavour supremcy !!!
I love cabbage, and all carsifrus veggies. I could eat them all day, every meal. Then I did for like a month and oh my lord, I got so backed up, for like a week, then another week. Bad, bad time. Honestly I looked 3 months pregnant. Just a warning to you all. You gotta mix it up. X
Odd. My wife and I eat lots of cabbage, maybe five days out of seven. Raw, steamed, it doesn't matter to us. It's never, ever had the effect you experienced. In fact, no side effects at all. I guess we're all different.
Love you Dr. Gregor , thank you for caring❣️ your information is so good and soothing, tongue in cheek, just what the doctor ordered!! I love red cabbage, kale I have to work on and get more in! Spinach is my favorite💘🍎🍏 your grandma sounded like a awesome woman. Take care ⭕️❌⭕️❌🕊🍆🍠🌰🌰🥑🍈🥝🍓🍊🍐🍇🍐🍌🍌✔️
You have to store them right and eat them quickly or freeze the broccoli sprouts to throw them frozen into your smoothie. They only store for 1 month in the freezer.
I would think that if you are certain to use proper sanitation, and cook your sprouts if you have a weakened immune system you should probably be fine.

Love your vids. One issue I’m having. I’ve been plant based for 3 years. I’m 55 yo Just got my blood work back and my potassium was elevated to 5.7 ml. Normal is 3.5 to 5.3. I eat lots of beans kale and other veggies. What’s up?
Same thing happened to me. I've never had high potassium. Dr asked if I was drinking lots of smoothies with too many bananas, which I wasn't. I did some research online. Sometimes you can get a false result if the blood draw was not done correctly. My Dr ordered another test two weeks later and it was back to normal. Good luck!

Never discount the placebo effect. On the contrary, Encourage your body to accept it. You can train your body to almost instantaneously 'experience' the pain relief of your chosen relievers before they've had a chance to even begin to dissolve in your stomach. As a person with a crippling autoimmune disease, (choosing an active life anyway, a little abuse from enemies, etc.) I can tell you that it works ... a lot of the time. Your mind will just stop listening to the signals as your Advil hits your stomach. All told; training my mind to buy into the placebo effect has saved me a total of days of agony.
I’ve been eating cabbage daily since the War (it was one of the few foods that wasn’t rationed by the Kaiser’s government) thus far without any deleterious effects.
Where I live, Cabbage is a staple, easy to get - but only in non-bio quality. Are there any concerns, is there data regarding this - are the pros still overwhelming, when conventional?
Is there any studies on starchy vegetables, beans,roots, or fruits that have shown a correlation with less antioxidant and anti inflammatory components. I have a theory that the more starch a plant or vegetation has the less antioxidant and anti inflammatory affects it may have on the human body. Also believe there might be a correlation between hybrid vegetation and starch. The farther away we hybridize a plant from what it's original natural selection the less nutritious and the less it will have anti inflammatory/antioxidants. It would most likely have more starch as well.
Could you do whole category of information where there is no animal testing experiments. I have learned a lot from these videos but I have kind of evaded nutrition facts because of that reason. Could it be possible and or feasable to make?
Has there been many studies comparing the nutrient retention of pressure cooking? From what I have read it and microwaving seem to actually result in the least amount of nutrient degradation but perhaps that has changed?

I’ve read that sprouts, even those you sprout yourself, are unsafe due to bacteria growing at room temperature. Can anyone reassure me? I love them
Well where did you read that? If it is not in a peer-reviewed journal or the datacollection method isn’t explained don’t worry
You have to store them right and eat them quickly or freeze the broccoli sprouts to throw them frozen into your smoothie. They only store for 1 month in the freezer.
Dr. Rhonda Patrick has a video on sprouting safety. th-cam.com/video/U9iL8Kvugks/w-d-xo.html
As a precaution only rinse them with bottled water. The bacteria that's on the plant naturally protects against mold etc.. :)
I would think that if you are certain to use proper sanitation, and cook your sprouts if you have a weakened immune system you should probably be fine.
