"Cabbage is the most medicinal vegetable."

"If you save the urine from a habitual cabbage eater, heat it, and bathe a man in it, you will quickly make him healthy with this cure. This has been tested. Also, if you wash babies with this urine they will never become sickly!"

-Cato the Elder, inventing golden baths before golden showers were a thing.
