cadmium level in carrot juice

[Guest guest]

I am wondering if any of you know if the cadmium level in carrot juice is of

concern. I was diagnosed with Graves Disease last week, and my sister insists

that I drink carrot juice everyday. She has a juicer and is actually making it

for me. I noticed on ithyroid.com they did some studies on it with some

negative results, but on another section of the website it says carrots and

carrot juice are beneficial. So, I am confused. One 8 oz glass of carrot juice

is equal to about a pound of carrots. The carrots are organic, but I don't want

to be ingesting something that could make me worse since cadmium is known to

trigger autoimmune thyroid disease.

Thanks!
