The reason lies in a compound called <strong>goitrin<\/strong>, which can slow down the production of thyroid hormones when eaten raw and in excess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doctors also caution that for people with sensitive digestion, green cauliflower may cause <strong>bloating and discomfort<\/strong>, especially when not cooked properly. However, when steamed or lightly roasted, most of the compounds that trigger irritation break down \u2014 leaving behind a powerhouse of nutrients that can strengthen the immune system and support heart health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So while green cauliflower isn\u2019t \u201cdangerous,\u201d it\u2019s best to <strong>eat it in moderation<\/strong> and always cook it before consuming. Done right, it can be one of the healthiest greens on your plate \u2014 but too much of a good thing can quickly become a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moderation, doctors say, is the secret to making green cauliflower a friend, not a foe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For years, cauliflower has been praised as one of the healthiest vegetables on the planet \u2014 but doctors are now warning that green cauliflower, also known as&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3087,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5269","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5269"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5269\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5269"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storytimebuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
