raw kale with hypothroid? (juice)

[adventuregurl]

I love having raw food smoothies but know that any raw cruciferous veggie depresses the thyroid, does anyone have any info on this?

There are a lot of food that suppress the thyroid, Kale is one:


All About Goitrogens - Why Thyroid Patients Are Warned About Cruciferous Vegetables



For the general public, overconsumption of raw goitrogens may be able to slow down the thyroid, and/or promote development of a goiter. (Important note: raw juicing often includes goitrogenic vegetables like cabbage and spinach, and these juices end up providing highly concentrated amounts of goiter-promoting ingredients.)

I regularly eat/drink raw kale, chard and spinach and lots of other greens...smoothies and in salads. I take thyroid meds. My thyroid is always in the normal range when tested. I have no goiter and no abnormalities as a result of my consumption of raw greens.

UMMM, you have low thyroid function and you eat all the wrong foods for this condition.

I am curious as to why you don't see a connection between the two??????

what are the symptoms of a suppressed thyroid? I eat kale almost everyday in green smoothies or in salads. I have never had any issues so far???
