Jan B. perspicuously asks about cabbage,

<< If this is true -- a diuretic action -- would it help someone
 actually diuress if they eat it?  I'm thinking particularly of the mothers
 that have an incredible amount of edema post Pitocin induction/excess IV
 fluids/long epidurals. >>

There is a famous pop-culture weight-loss diet based on cabbage soup, and
friends I know who have tried it have claimed to me that they found it mainly
took off their water-weight.

So that is not at all research-based :> -- but it does make me wonder the
same thing.  Maybe we should add cabbage soup to the watermelon-and-cucumber
diet for those edematous moms and see what is to be seen...
