Re: Goitrogenic foods...how much is too much?

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

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.....

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.

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.

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.

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.
