It alkalinizes the body, stimulates the immune system, kills harmful bacteria and viruses, soothes and heals ulcers, helps prevent cancer, and clears the complexion.Cabbage's sulfur and iodine content will improve circulation. Cabbage is a rich source of vitamin C; the outer leaves are concentrated in vitamin E and contain at least a third more calcium than the inner leaves. Red cabbage also contains phenolic compounds which give added antioxidant properties. Members of the cabbage family mildly stimulate the liver and other tissues out of stagnancy."
