I am coming to believe in the idea of eating at least 30 different foods everyday which I have heard some indigenous/traditional beliefs hold. However, it seems that eating a class of foods could pose a problem too. I have been a sweet potato and cruciferous consumer about 70% too. I also am working to correct my thyroid.

I was wrongly diagnosed as a celiac 12 months ago and as much as I did the right thing, nothing changed. So this week my doctor tested for Hypothyroidism. What a lightbulb effect. All those symtpoms and more came popping to the surface. And looking at the list of Goitrogen food……they are 70% of my diet! I heard too that sweet potato is a goitrogen as well, which I was substituting for potato and carb levels.
Can’t wait for treatment to start and get things back to normal. When I think about it I’ve been this was for just under 20 years!

I beleive peanuts may also be goitrogenic. Though cooking them (or the food listed in the article) may reduce or render them inert. We don’t know yet.

But, if you are trying to eat iodine rich food as well as these goitrogenic foods it will have a nullifying effect and you won’t get the benefits from these thyroid stimulating foods.

How can I tell if the food is iodine rich? Great info, just learning and need help.

You learn something new every day – I never knew what Goitrogens compounds were and how they affected the body. It’s odd to think that one food is so very good for one person but that same food can be horribly wrong for another. Thanks for the information
