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,
