Guest guest Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 > Joe, Speaking of cabbage, I was fascinated by the ultimate kimchi > recipe with the fruit in it. Please would you report back when it's > done? I'd love to know how it turned out. It got mixed reviews, actually. There were 2 full jars of it and 1 half-filled jar. I've been eating up the half-jar and hoping the full ones will have had time to blend flavors. The jars have to stay in the fridge because they aren't lactofermented, but the mixture should last quite a while b/c of the sea salt, the garlic, and the lemon bits. Also, Judy, be cautious of eating a lot of raw cabbage in the form of cole slaw, because per WAPF, raw cabbage suppresses thyroid function. Fermented and cooked is fine in any amount, I understand. ~Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we'll take a break from coleslaw. We love it cooked as well, and I want to try making some kimchi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 > > Thanks Joe for the thyroid tip. I had missed that. > You're welcome, . It's getting harder to stay silent in real life when I see people making the same mistakes I used to, like with soy. Yesterday in the store, a woman I passed in the aisles had two cartons of soymilk. I debated saying something, but I get peculiar looks whenever I mention it. :o/ I try to leave the WAPF Soy Alert! brochure whenever I can, but you can only hope for the best. ~Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 LOL. I hope there's no gluten in cabbage, though getting my boy to eat it would be a feat in itself.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Is it true that eating cabbage or drinking cabbage juice destroy iodine in our body Rysiek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 But what with fermented pickled cabbage and cabbage rejuvelac , i like it so much . Rysiek Re: CABBAGE Right. Cabbage is part of a large number of items called goitrogens "that are substances that suppress the function of the thyroid gland by interfering with iodine uptake which can, as a result, cause an enlargement of the thyroid, i.e. a goitre." -from Wikipedia. I've also read that cooking destroys the enzymes responsible for this so just don't eat a ton of raw goitrogens like brassica family vegetables and unfermented soy products especially...-Marlena>> I don't think so.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 You have to eat a LOT of cabbage for it to be a goitrogen. Fermented is the best form as it has been broken down. There are many foods that block thyroid hormones like strawberries, soy, and more. Steph Re: CABBAGE Right.
