I am finding the cabbage discussion interesting.  I was looking in Lawrence,
and she identifies the following, p. 258:

" Cabbage is noted to contain sinigrin (allyl isothiocyanate)  and rapine.
Herbalists consider rapine to be an antifungal antibiotic. The text lists
galactogogues and lactation suppressants found in other plants  but does not
mention any mammary effects of cabbage."
