Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 Last week or the week before someone sent a hot link to Dr. Wiel's site where he does address the soy issue for hypothyroid patients. According to him, soy does inhibit thyroid functioning and he suggests not consuming more than half a cup a day and to wait until 3 hours after you take your medication. You may want to go out to the site and read it for yourself. I, too, ate a lot of tofu and used soy milk and have just this week taken them out of my diet. Not necessarily for the hypothyroidism, but because I'm going to try the "Eat Right 4 Your Type" program, and for type B, soy, tofu, miso, etc. are all things I should avoid. De. D'Adamo does suggest and drink (I forget what he calls it) that uses a tbsp. of lecithin granules, a tbsp. of flax seed oil, and 6-8 ozs. of fruit juice. Ironically, lecithin is derived from soy but doesn't have the detrimental affect that soy does. Joette Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail.
