Things to Avoid Aspartame: Aside from its other known toxic effects, Aspartame appears to be particularly problematic for the thyroid gland Iodized Salt: Even though the thyroid gland depends on iodine to produce hormones, this is not the way to get it. It is not possible to eat enough salt, in the first place, to get the daily recommended dosage of iodine (150mcg). Nor is it advisable to consume such a highly processed product, the grocery store versions of which often contain aluminum and dextrose. Sea salt, unprocessed and containing trace minerals, is a far better choice. Unsaturated Oils (including canola oil): There is speculation that these contribute to hypothyroidism. Whether it is because they contain so much inflammation-promoting Omega-6 fatty acids, or because they are generally rancid even before they are bottled (or go rancid in their clear glass bottles) Soy: Also disruptive to the endocrine system, and considered a toxin by some, is soy, though it is the isolated and concentrated isoflavones that pose the greatest risk. Depending on soy as a primary source of protein is not recommended. Even small amounts have been shown to have powerful hormone disrupting powers and can lower concentrations of T3 AND AVOID WHEAT AND GLUTEN!!!
