When I was first dx, I tried to fight this all natural but failed, but now I wonder with being on meds could these products have their benefits now.

Tea contains fluoride, which is toxic to both the thyroid gland and chemically attacks thyroid hormones. Recent tests have raised doubts about the efficacy of the isoflavones in it. It should definitely be on the list of things to avoid with soy. Check our archives. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Wasn't that Instant tea? Not the herbal teas that are loose leaf?

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Allie, You asked: > Wasn't that Instant tea? Not the herbal teas that are loose leaf? I meant any preparation of camellia sinensis. I was surprised to learn that the fermented teas concentrate fluoride even more than green (Chinese restaurant) tea. The benefits or side effects of herbal teas depend on the herb in question. If your thyroid has already been removed or destroyed, tea may not be an issue. If you are already taking a full replacement dose, about 200 mcg for Synthroid, then more fluoride may not be harmful (at least not to your thyroid), and the anti-oxidants in tea may well outweigh the toxicity of fluoride. I've just gotten used to coffee. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee, the Elixir of Life, has none of the ingredients in tea that attack the thyroid or its hormones. Recent studies have even shown that it helps prevent several degenerative brain conditions, in addition to helping short term memory right before a big test. Just don't get too much or too late in the day. BTW, one of the principal concerns about tea and coffee is tannin, which has been associated with risk for cancer of the throat. A protein in milk and cream (not nondairy creamer) ties up the tannin and prevents its risk. BTW, the half life for caffeine in the body is about 6 hours for nonsmokers; 3 hours for smokers. That explains a lot. Neither drink is particularly good for diabetes, especially with sugar. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Chuck you seem to know alot about this disease, maybe you would know about multi vitamins. I was told not to take them by one doc then told to by another. What is your take on this.....

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Only true of real coffee. The ones that are commercialy processed like folgers, etc... don't have most of the health benefits. Also caffeine is a nervous system irritant. Use with care. .... and btw, the true elixir to life is air, the ability to breath. --- Chuck B <cblatchl@...> wrote: > angela vincent wrote: > > What about coffie Chuck, is it really bad for > hypothyroidism... > > Coffee, the Elixir of Life, has none of the > ingredients in tea that > attack the thyroid or its hormones.
