Sharon if you aren't on any thyroid meds and have a nodule then yes I would limit the cruciferous veggies.  If you are on meds then the veggies should be ok. At least this is what I have gathered from my reading and the thyroid group I belong to.

I also have a problem with hair loss (male pattern, it seems to me!), and I have low thyroid levels. (I also think that it could be because of menopause.) What makes me mad is that *I* pointed out the problem to my doc (slightly enlarged thyroid lobes). I had ultrasounds / scans and they found a small innocent-looking nodule. I'm not under any treatment, however. All they want to do is get ultrasounds! So, speaking of thyroid -- and to keep on-topic! -- should kale (and other cruciferous veggies) be kept to a minimum in green smoothies?

Wondering,

How about seaweeds in you smoothies. Would that help?

After reading your message with the Wiki link, I contacted my endocrinologist to see if I should limit my consumption of the raw kale. He wrote back saying that my iodine levels have remained stable for the past years (with the thyroid meds I take) and he didn't feel any need to make a change from what I've been doding.Ginny From: ssummers1 tds.net <ssummers1@...> To:
