Cabbage Soup Diet and weight loss
The cabbage soup diet originated around 1950. No one knows
who started the cabbage soup diet, but it seems to be the oldest diet fad that’s still in use. During World War 1, American soldiers in France ate this soup (as there was a dearth of fresh vegetables) to protect themselves against scurvy – the dreaded disease caused by vitamin C deficiency.

Research in these compounds has shown that they stimulate enzyme activity and inhibit carcinogenic growth.
