so let’s answer another question related

to cruciferous someone wanted to know if

it’s okay to consume cruciferous because

they’re concerned about the thyroid and

the endocrine system is it going to

create problems with the thyroid all

right so there it is true there is a

chemical called Theo sign 8 okay

in cruciferous vegetables not all of

them some of them and this chemical has

the capacity to compete for iodine so

since the thyroid needs iodine as its

mineral the last thing we want to do is

have this chemical computer iodine and

end up with a hypo thyroid condition

right but here’s the thing it’s not

gonna happen unless you are iodine

deficient in the first place but if

you’re doing healthy keto if you’re

taking trace minerals or seek help and

you even consume a good amount of

cruciferous you’re not gonna have a

problem and one study 15 grams of

cruciferous per day were consumed that’s

5 ounces of cooked brussel sprouts

ok for 4 weeks absolutely no adverse

effects whatsoever and one more point

about that when I recommend consuming 7

to 10 cups of vegetable per day I’m not

talking about 7 to 10 cups of

cruciferous vegetables per day that

might have been a confusion for some

people I couldn’t consume that much

brussel sprout or broccoli or whatever

I’m talking about like leafy green

salads not even spinach but just leafy

green romaine lettuce or some other

lettuce mixture a couple cups of

cruciferous per day would be more in

line of what I would recommend and for a

lot of them you want to steam or saute

them or stir-fry them but the benefits

of cruciferous are huge anti tumor

anti-cancer anti-angiogenesis is

basically a situation where the tumor

has these blood vessels supplying its

nutrients and cruciferous has the

capacity of shutting off the growth of

these blood vessels to the trimmer

starving them of nutrients

there’s nutrient benefits folate high

vitamin C high

michaei one potassium selenium calcium

tons of phytonutrients lots of

chlorophyll very very healthy for the

body but I think the biggest benefit is

its potential for creating a phase 1

phase 2 detoxification and that’s a

situation where it will help boost the

breakdown of poisons and chemicals in

the body through certain enzymes in the

liver and so you’re basically taking

these fat soluble poisons and turning

them into harmless water soluble

particles so the body can then rid them

thereby increasing liver function and

kidney function well guess what you need

good liver and kidney function to allow

the conversion from t3 to t4 so without

a healthy liver or a healthy kidney

you’re not going to be able to convert

these thyroid hormones and of course the

fiber and the cruciferous could feed the

microbes and provide food to increase

the bile or recycling and then the bile

is also necessary for this immersions

well so you can actually improve the

thyroid by consuming some cruciferous

and I’m not talking about massive

amounts just some in the diet and

realize when you cook it or ferment it

you decrease some of these chemicals as

well and not to mention cruciferous

having the anti-estrogen ik effect and

high levels of estrogen inhibit thyroid

function so you’re really helping the

thyroid with cruciferous as long as you

have enough iodine so this is why I

recommend a seek help especially if

someone is susceptible to having a

thyroid problem seek help is very

important and if you’re consuming more

cruciferous just add more seek help
