We've seen one published report involving an 88 - year - old woman who developed severe hypothyroidism (low production of thyroid hormones) and a related coma following consumption of an estimated 2 - 3 pounds
of raw bok choy for several months.
I was initially quite suspicious that a combination
of raw bok choy, onion, and apple could ever taste good, but since I get bok choy all the time in my CSA and it cooks down to almost nothing in a stir fry, I decided to give the salad a try.
This case was that of an 88 - year old woman who developed hypothyroidism after eating 1 - 1.5 kg (2.2 - 3.3 pounds) of
raw bok choy every day for several months; an excessive and unreasonable intake of raw cruciferous.
However, this patient had an extreme diet, and it is difficult to consume 1.0 - 1.5 kg of
raw bok choy every day for several months.
In this case, there was an 88 - year - old woman who developed hypothyroidism after eating one to one and a half kilograms — that's about two to three pounds — of
raw bok choy every day for several months.
