Yep! My mom has thyroid disease, so I abstain from raw broccoli, which can induce hypothyroidism IF you are already predisposed. That article doesn't mention raw vs. cooked, but I've only heard bad things about raw broccoli.0

I have hypothyroidism and eat broccoli, cauliflower etc and it hasn't adversely affected my test results. I think you have to eat vast quantities for it to really do any damage.0

I hope you are right metalvegan. Thankfully, I don't eat raw veggies other than salad. I say cook your veggies and take a vitamin :bigsmile:0

I take levothyroxine and I've never been told by my doctor not to eat certain foods.
I'm sure food has interactions with our bodies but I'd imagine it would have to be large amounts or daily broccoli all the time.0
