Flax and iodine uptake

[Guest guest]

I am wondering if you have any insight to the following the was posted on the

adrenals group?

Hello All ~ has anyone come across the following ~ Safety of Flaxseeds

Raw flaxseeds contain cyanogenic glycosides, which are converted in the body to

thiocynanates (also breakdown products of glucosinolates in cruciferous

vegetables). Thiocyanates can inhibit the uptake of iodine by the thyroid, but

this is not generally a problem when iodine is plentiful in the food supply.

However, under conditions of chronic low iodine intake, large amounts of raw

flaxseeds could contribute the goiter. Cooking flaxseeds destroys the cyanogenic

glycosides.

Thanks

Diane

Hello Diane,

Charlotte Gerson says that flaxseeds are not good for folks doing the Gerson Therapy (or anyone for that matter, because the seeds inhibit enzymes). But that flaxseed oil is very different and very important on the therapy and for everyone's general health. The Gerson Therapy also utilitzes iodine, NTH and all organic fruits and veggies , in their original form and organic juices. So I take the flaxseed only in the form of the oil.

Best,

Kathleen
