so there’s a question that came in and

they wanted to know should they be

concerned about Gaucho genic foods okay

so what is a goitrogenic food it’s a

food that can cause a goiter an enlarged

thyroid so the thyroid is right in the

base of your neck about two and a half

inches wide and it can swell up if it

doesn’t have I identified ein well the

thyroid then is not going to be able to

send the signal back up to pituitary and

that is going to cause more thyroid

stimulating hormone to be produced and

that’s coming down from the pituitary to

the thyroid and as two functions one is

to release more thyroid hormone and

there were two to enlarge the thumb

right so it’s gonna get bigger so what

foods can potentially create these

effects cassava corn cabbage which is

part of the cruciferous vegetables that

will include like kale broccoli brussel

sprouts bok choy etc then we have canola

soy beans almonds cherries strawberries

spinach sweet potato and there are many

more as well now right off the bat I’m

gonna recommend not to consume sweet

potato anyway so you can rule that out

and not to do canola cuz this GMO and

not to do corn or cassava or soy beans

okay and cherries are a bit too high in

sugar and out of these foods cruciferous

could potentially be a problem but

really only for those people that are

sensitive to it also you’d have to

consume large amounts of cruciferous

frequently to create a deficiency also

realize that when you cook courser

Fereshteh Buhl’s fermented boil it or

steam it you reduce these chemicals that

can create this effect so for most

people they don’t have to worry about it

if you’re concerned if you already have

a hypothyroid problem if you know you

have an iodine deficiency and you’re

sensitive to these foods then take seek

help okay and don’t consume these foods

on a daily

basses have them periodically but not

very often I also realize that one of

the best sources of iodine would be

shellfish fish and seek help now you

just want to make sure when you take

seek out don’t take large and large

amounts all you need to do is one or two

in the morning and you’re good to go and

that will give you enough iodine to

protect you from any potential

deficiency that any of these could

create alright thanks for watching if
