hi Yvonne,

Goitrogenic foods are a concern when (a) eaten raw and (b) eaten in excess. Cooking eliminates or minimizes the goitrogenic factor. For the benefit of other readers, these foods include:
  • brussles sprouts
    rutabaga (also called swede)
    turnips
    kohlrabi
    radishes
    cauliflower
    cabbage
    kale
    cassava
    millet
Just make sure you have them fully cooked, and/or have them in limited amounts.

Soy products may antithyroid after long-term use. Some studies show yes, other studies say no. Moderation is key.
