Goitrogens....

I have some of the info up on our website....

www.thyrophoenix.com/bad_foods.htm

Or you can google it too....

They are mostly vegetables in the Cabbage family... cabbage, broccoli, kohlrabi, cauliflower.. there are many others too, but to a lesser degree.

The thing to keep in mind is that you don't want to totally eliminate all of them, except soy and HFCS (high fructose corn syrup), they have good nutrition in them too.

We just have to learn how they interact with thyroid hormone and keep everything consistent...

If the language part gets confusing... ask more questions.. and we'll try to help ... What is your first/main language?

Thanks for the information.

Gee, I never thought broccoli and cauliflower weren't good for me, and here I've been trying hard to eat more of those vegetables, especially broccoli... hm...

I did google Goitrogens and need a little time reading through the articles but I already saw I'm not supposed to eat soy-anything or what includes Isoflavones. That's what my cancer specialist also said. I've had breastcancer and he says to stay away from natural estrogenes to be on the safe side. ( differs from what many say though).

Here in Iceland we speak Icelandic.

It is one of the Scandinavian languages and the most original of them. They are Norwegian, Danish and Swedish by the way. Finnish is another kettle of fish though as their language is in the same family as russian and similar tongues.

What is confusing are the special words like Goitrogens and others related to the sickness and the classic one; You Americans and your abbreviations!

Sorry, no offence meant.

We have a little different healthcare here in Europe too.

Here, for instance we go to a specialist when something like thyroid problems are afoot. Our GP is for general use when you have the flu or similar or to help find a specialist. I first went to a man and didn't like him one bit. He just looked at me in a peculiar way when I talked about how offended I was with the extra weight. I now go to a young lady who can relate to the problem right away. Such a difference!

You can buy a lot of your drugs over the counter but here we can't. Actually I feel it's a good thing. Let the doctors be doctors and not you yourself. Too many people would diagnose themselves I fear.

If you were to talk about flight related things I know it all. I've worked for the Icelandic avaiation administration for 21 years and the language is English all over the World.

Many thanks again and I'll read about goitrogen food.

Ta, ta Jóhanna
