    Cabbage and other mustard vegetables contain small amounts of goiter-causing substances (such as thiocyanate), which interfere with the absorption and utilization of iodine by the thyroid gland, making the thyroid gland larger and forming a goiter. When eating cabbage, it is best to season it with some salt to reduce the absorption of goiter-causing substances.
