Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Cauliflower) — Not covered (AHP; KOM;
PH2). Don’t overdo it. In huge quantities, glucosinolate/isothiocyanate-containing crucifers might
upset the thyroid. And in huge doses, hard to get dietarily, indole-3-carbinol might stimulate
breast cancer rather than prevent it because it does so at levels reasonably attainable through
dietary consumption of crucifers (Brassicaceae). If broccoli is the master antioxidant, white
cauliflower may be low on the nutritive totem pole, yet sharing in many of the phytochemicals,
activities, and indications.
