I often see people loading up on big raw salads that seem harmless, but raw cruciferous vegetables
found in cabbage, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts contain
goitrogens that can interfere with thyroid function.
Let's say we break down the many complex parts of the broccoli plant, over 100 beneficial compounds, and we
find one that, when chemically isolated and in large amounts, could interfere with thyroid function —
goitrogens.
If so, what precautions have you
found encourage better digestion to avoid the downside of oxalates and
goitrogens in so many of the most popular green smoothie vegetables?
The more plant foods you eat, the healthier you are...
Goitrogens are another bit of nonsense blown WAY out of proportion and I have no doubt the multibillion dollar animal agriculture industry funds studies trying to
find damning evidence against plants... well, they continue to fail.
Goitrogens are compounds that lower thyroid function and are

I am not sure what role

But this is not the fundamental logic behind my analysis, its the studies which are to begin with 50 years old, Then they have not confirmed the link by isolating these suspected
Goitrogens compounds and
finding a link.
What is the best way to cook our greens so that we gain the most nutrition but at the same time, eliminate as much of the

After that all modern studies done on whole veggies and on the isolated compounds (that were just assumed to be
Goitrogens I have yet to
