Guest guest Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hi Lynn, From what I have studied, I don’t eat soy at all. Not in any form. All soy is GMO and inhibits the thyroid . Peanuts I wont eat as they are notoriously high in aflatoxin (carcinogenic mold/fungus that can lead to liver cancer). Everything else on this list I will eat, but in moderation. For example, broccoli, bok choy, and spinach are rich in vitamins and minerals as are the other items, so to not include them in my diet wouldn’t be prudent. For me, the key is balance. Best, Kathleen Goitrogenic foods...how much is too much? There are so many goitrogenic (interfere with iodine absorption) foods that are good for other nutritional values.bok choybroccolibrussels sproutscabbagecauliflowergarden kresskalekohlrabimustardmustard greensradishesrutabagassoysoy milksoybean oilsoy lecithinsoy anythingtempehtofuturnipsAlso included in the goitrogen category, even if mildly, are:bamboo shootsmilletpeachespeanutspearspine nutsradishesspinachstrawberriessweet potatoesHow much is too much?Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thank you, Kathleen. Another question: Does anyone know for sure....If iodine is taken first thing in morning and goitrogenic foods later in day, would that change the picture? Was just ready to start paleo diet which requires one cabbage family dish a day....and homemade cole slaw is a great ready made snack. But, if it kills iodine.....

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hi Lynn, I understood cooking your food is fine on a Paleo diet, so lightly steaming your cabbage, broccoli, mustard etc will help solve this dilemma. Although not strictly Paleo, I am trying my hand at making lacto-fermented vegetables. I understand this also makes them non- goitrogenic.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hi Paleo diets aim to follow the eating patterns of our ancestors. In most paleo diets there is no requirement to eat particular food, you eat what is available at the time so if cabbage was out, other vegetables would do. The programme you are following should not be that rigid. Perhaps you can contact the person recommending this (or write to their forum) and ask for alternatives. Many of ancestors would not have recognised a cabbage if you threw it at them! LOL. Good for you for cleaning up your diet. Cooking the food is also fine, it releases more energy from the food and makes it easier to digest. I follow Primal Blueprint and it's not very rigid.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 It doesn't kill iodine. Eat in moderation. Paying attention to those lists is not productive, imo. The cabbage family veggies prevent cancer, among other nutritional attributes. Take your iodine, eat your veggies, don't worry. -- On 26 Feb 2012 at 13:51, southphillylily wrote: > > Thank you, Kathleen. > > Another question: Does anyone know for sure....If iodine is taken > first thing in morning and goitrogenic foods later in day, would that > change the picture? > > Was just ready to start paleo diet which requires one cabbage family > dish a day....and homemade cole slaw is a great ready made snack. > > But, if it kills iodine..... > > Lynn > > > > Hi Lynn, > From what I have studied, I don't eat soy at > all.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 One would have to be eating a whole lot, day in and day out to have problems. I agree, I juice cabbage and other items sometimes, just don't make a daily habit of it. Linn Moderator > > Hi Lynn, > From what I have studied, I don't eat soy at > > all. Not in any form.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Also, putting a little raw butter or sour cream on cooled down veggies makes their mineral content more available. Veggies and fat go together. Paleo's did what they could but we know more now.
