Thyroid Suppressing Fruits?

[Guest guest]

I've been browsing through old messages, and was very surprised to see,

in Message 2069, a long article by a Dr. Debe that lists thyroid

suppressing foods. It was a very long list, and besides the usual

cruciferous vegetables, both apples and grapefruit were listed! These

two fruits are mainstays of my diet, so I was worried enough to google

for more information. I couldn't really find anything except warnings

not to drink/eat these fruits when taking thyroid medications such as

Synthroid.

I am not taking any thyroid medications. Do I still need to avoid these

fruits?

I do not believe so, . We've talked about this a few times on this

list, and the point is to have a varied and healthy diet so that no one

factor dominates. Sometimes people get dogmatic about things that need not

be. Enjoy.

Hello I am new to this group,

I am taking a low dose of Lugal's iodine (suggested by my dr.) for breast cancer prevention.

This is my regime: Minocin for RA, Armour 90 MG,bio- identical hormones, fish oil 4-6 grams day, complex vit & mineral tablet, liver purifiy supplement, LDN.

But what about these thyroid suppressing fruits, also included in my protocol is a tablet of these vegetables, D-Gluate which is to metabolize estrogen's. Am I cancelling out the iodine?

Thank you for any comments,

Carol

Everything in moderation. All food offers health benefits. It is when you over indulge that you have issues. I asked Dr. Brownstein about this at one time and he said you would have to eat more than the average person eats to have an issue.

Many thanks for the reassurances about apples and grapefruit. I am

already on a highly restricted diet, so would grieve over their loss.
