A Good Reason to Eat Soy Products in Moderation
Soybean products, including soy oil, block iodine uptake. Your thyroid gland
cannot function properly without iodine. Symptoms of low thyroid function
include fatigue, dry skin and hair, cold hands and feet. Other iodine blockers
include fluoride and chlorine. Other foods that block iodine uptake include raw
kale, turnips, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage, but once you cook them they’re
fine.
From Chapters 4 (about thyroid) and Chapter 16 (about soy) in What Your
Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer – How Hormone Balance Can Help
Save Your Life by John R. Lee, M.D., David Zava, Ph.D. and Virginia Hopkins.
