What's the thing with soy?

[Guest guest]

As most of you, I try to eat and drink what's right for me. Now, I haven't found out what's right for ME yet, as we're all different, but I try to follow the advice I am given by specialists and experienced patients.

Soy is a huge issue for Hypothyroid patients. My thyroid gland works, but I am in the process of suppressing it with T3-only meds. However, I would like to know how if soy can suppress the T3 medicaiton itself!? Can we eat soy if we don't use our thyroid gland while taking meds?One patient (from another board) says that we should avoid ALL soy products and derivatives no matter what:"Soy, according to my understanding, is an absolute. No soy for thyroiders, as it has other effects other than just the goitrogenic effect (see prior post). This includes soy in all it's varied forms: soy lecithin, soybean oil -- really the list is extensive and it is found in most processed foods."Which is sad, cause, I love soy souce (on sushi and other things) and there is soy lechitin in my new Wholemega product, which is supposed to be the very best omega oil product in the whole wide world at the
