Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Milk was mine also. Before I was diagnoised with graves I was drinking about half a gallon of milk every morning. The calcium was binding with the thyroid hormone. I could not drink enough...I craved it. Topper had her soy nuts and I had my milk. Nowdays I very rarely drink milk.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Bodies are pretty amazing aren't they? If only we could learn their language sooner rather than later.... My sudden shift to vegies and then the roasted soy nuts... I ate them like crazy, couldn't get enough of 'em.... and after RAI.. I spit them right out.. didn't anything to do with them.... If only I'd have known that that was all a plea for help.... sigh Topper () On Thu, 22 Feb 2007 18:17:17 -0000 " Sami " samkelly729@...> writes: > Milk was mine also.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Hey, What's that about milk? I was actually raised on milk, had milk with every meal and more.... Is it one of the goitrogen foods? Best Jóhanna in Iceland Re: goitrogens revisited Milk was mine also. Before I was diagnoised with graves I wasdrinking about half a gallon of milk every morning.

Milk also contains calcium.. calcium is not a goitrogen but both Calcium and iron bind with synthetic T4 on a cellular level and compete for receptor spots.. I have not seen a study regarding normal hormone having this problem with Calcium and Iron but I have seen it with the synthetic versions and even the manufactuers of Synhtroid etc. reccomend spacing calcium and iron containing products 4 hours from your Synthroid dose.. It has to do with travel time between swallowing the Synthroid, and having the body utilize it and move it out of the blood stream into the cellular level..once there it does not seem to interfere with the T4..or at least I have not found a study on it.. Hope this makes sense. Kats3boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Oh, I see. Milk is the least of our worries here in Iceland. I read at my doctor's that Iceland is the World's winner in Thyroid cancer. The reason is, among others that we have a lot of iodine in the ground here, this being an island and then we have lived on fish for generations. The bad news though is that since Chernobyl (remember the nuclear factory exploding) thyroid cancer is getting more and more common here. I was always told even our vegetables contain iodine.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Can you tell me Johanna the distance between Iceland and Chernobyl and more details about how it's meltdown has affected people there?

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 . Chernobyl 2071 miles away ( 3333 km. )and I was quite surprised to read this. This was a pamplet made by our health service so they are probably telling the truth. It must be winds and admosphere that is to blame. The pamplet said we had quite an increase in chrildren's thyroid cancer wich is really sad. Faulty tyroids have always been common in Iceland and I think that has been the iodine in our soil.
