it is something the Adrenal group spouts often. I don't know what research article it is though.

I am unable to find anything about actual incidence of Hashimoto's by

country. I sincerely doubt the claim is true.

-- please find a source for that statistic, otherwise, it's made

up and doesn't really exist.

I remember reading in Dr Brownstein's Iodine, Why We Need it book about a high

level of thyroid issues in Japan(cannot confirm Hashi's specifically, as I gave

this book to my endo and I cannot remember the specifics) during a certain

period and Dr Brownstein I think put it down to contaminated seaweed

consumption.

There is also a study that was done in Japan in a small fishing village that said that the fishermenwere consuming something like 80 mg iodine everyday in their diet; theyhad a higher incidence of Hashimoto's than usual and so they concluded that too much iodine resulted in Hashi's. Later, someone else came along, read the study and did their own study; they discovered that the villagers, who weren't consuming nearly as much iodine, also had Hashi's, thereby disproving the first study's conclusion. I have seen someone quoting the owner of the adrenals list as citing this study to support her own conclusion that too much iodine will cause Hashi's, which she believes because of the first study done; obviously she never heard about the subsequent study that was done. It's also why they don't like iodine over at the Adrenals Group.

Hope this helps.ArielOn Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 2:10 PM, Baker <vbaker@...> wrote:

Not true according to this reference:

" No significant race predilection has been identified for Hashimoto's

thyroiditis. "

I came across the quote over at : http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/dosing.htm under his iodine chapter. The quote was not cited, which is why I wondered what you all know. He has a lot of very good info in many other areas, but his info on iodine just did not seem right not me.

Yes, and I think its causes hypo by a mechanism in which the

digestion/absorption of soy depletes iodine stores. So, in fact, Bonsoy might

have been trying to do the " right " thing by adding iodine to Soymilk.

How ridiculous to say that iodine causes hypo when soy is a known goitrogen.
