Cabbage is low in fat and calories and is a good source of dietary fiber and vitamin C, and the dark green varieties, such as bok choy, are also rich in folate and vitamin A. A side from its role in the Cabbage Soup Diet, cabbage also plays an important part in fighting against Cancer. Recent research show that green leafy vegetables such as cabbage contain a certain compound – indole-3-carbinol (I3C) – that can be used to kill cancer cells.
