Re: Goitrogens, is there a way to eat them and still be 'good'

Okay.. that does make sense... if it were an immediate - short term thing.. it would be far more obvious to a lot of folks... Cause and effect....

Hmmm... gots to do some pondering on this.....

I think we're talking about large amts of these foods that are eaten almost every single day for a long period of time, and what I think happens is that the substances in these foods that make them goitrogenic, more than likely "stand at the door" of the cell, blocking the receiving of the thyroid hormone. If it was simple digestive blockage, all we'd have to do is take the thyroid one hr before or around 2 hrs after meals, but this is not the case, as with soy or estrogens. It is not a mechanical digestive problem, rather a long term chemistry problem, with these sorts of things. I guess that, essentially, whatever it was that we were doing wrong with the eating, has changed our body chemistry, literally, if we can even hold any of these foods responsible for this.
