I think I read that article and I am fairly certain that you have to be eating very large quantities of soy and raw broccoli for it to affect your thyroid. Eating foods that contain soy shortly after taking your Synthroid (or other thyroid hormone) can affect its absorption into your body, thus causing your body to not get the needed amount.
Edited to add:
A quote from the article: Quote: |
America's leading alternative doctor, Dr. Andrew Weil, has said about soy, at his Ask Dr. Weil website "…you're unlikely to get too many isoflavones as a result of adding soy foods to your diet -- but you probably will take in too much if you take soy supplements in pill form. At this point, I can only recommend that you avoid soy supplements entirely." |
