- "A cabbage is a nickname for someone socially inept."
Um, where? Not in the US, certainly.
well in new zealand its used as slang for anyone thats stupid
i dont see why my alternative meaning was taken out, thats unfair and wrong!
- Well, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. While it may be entirely true that cabbage can refer to somebody stupid, most people would consider that fact just too trivial to include in an encyclopaedia. The wiktionary definition of cabbage, by contrast, includes this meaning. Hope this answers your question! --Spudtater 12:07, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Broken Link
I changed the "About Sauerkraut" link at the bottom to a working one. Cabbages are yummy :) (81.174.172.103 15:13, 1 June 2006 (UTC)) in the arabian medicine cabbage juice used for gaetric ulcer and for diabetic patients
[edit] Needs better pic
In my area Cabbages look like large waxy iceberg lettuce and every time I've seen them in movies (uncluding foreign movies) they look like that too. The pic used here looks like the Bok_choy specialty cabbage one gets from an asian produce market. I'm sure these pics are all in the cabbage family but they don't look like any cabbage I've ever eaten. Tiki God 13:25, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Medicinal Properties?
For some reason, the reference for the "cabbage poultice" is to some page about the academy awards, but I found the intended link. However, the page is merely an assertion by Chanchal Cabrera, a rabid naturopath, and it cites no evidence for this claim. It is further made suspect when it is recommended for use in treating everything from arthritis to gangrene and tumours, and I can find no rationale behind this. I have found a more reasonable note in the British Medical Journal about the use of cabbage to reduce swelling (and only swelling) in traditional European medicine that I will cite instead. However, the note is only a personal anecdote from a general practitioner, so until I can find any real evidence of its efficacy I will revise the article to better reflect the current state of knowledge about this traditional remedy. --πσ 12:19, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] phosphorescence?
according to http://www.gullible.info/archive.php?m=2006-08 , the second line of August 30 (end of page), "Cabbage is mildly phosphorescent." Anybody know anythnig about this?
[edit] cabbage as a weight loss diet
cabbage is also rich in fibres which make makes it good for persons who want to lose weight. but only for a short term. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sindygh (talk • contribs) 13:03, 13 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] weight loss cont
cabbage is a natural diuretic which means that it kinda drains the water locked in the body. this inturn means that the body will lose potassium and vitamins B when you try to use it as weight loss programs. therefore it is important you supplement this minerals. you can eat fruits such as banana or those rich in citric acids to supplement the potassium and get to a drug store and request for vitamin B, approximately 600mg for the loss of vit B. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sindygh (talk • contribs) 13:11, 13 February 2007 (UTC).
