9. Anti-thiamin:
Certain vegetables such as cabbage are known to have thiaminase. Thiaminase is an enzyme that breaks vitamin B1 (thiamin) and renders it inactive. Vitamin B1 is a crucial vitamin for the healthy mental and physical development of babies. The good thing is that cooking can destroy thiaminase. Thus, the consumption of cabbage should be done in cooked form.
10. Anti-mineral:
Oxalic acid is an inorganic salt that binds with calcium and other minerals and renders them insoluble. When minerals become insoluble, their bioavailability reduces, thus leading to health implications. Cabbage contains oxalic acid, and cooking does not break it down. Therefore, babies should have cabbage in moderate amounts. Remember, moderate intake does not lead to such problems in healthy babies.
