Should People With Hyperthyroidism Use Goitrogenic Foods As A Treatment Method?
Some sources suggest that people with hyperthyroidism should eat a good amount of goitrogenic foods. The rationale behind this is that since hyperthyroidism involves an excess of iodine production, and because goitrogens inhibit the production of thyroid hormone, then it would make sense to “load up” on these thyroid inhibiting foods. I personally disagree with this, as while someone with a hyperthyroid condition will be able to eat more goitrogens when compared with someone with hypothyroidism, this doesn’t mean they should intentionally eat a lot of goitrogenic foods. The reason for this is because simply taking goitrogenic foods isn’t going to cure the hyperthyroid condition. While eating goitrogenic foods might do a decent job of managing the symptoms if they are consumed in sufficient quantities, my ultimate goal is to try to restore the health of the person’s thyroid gland back to it’s normal state, which in many cases can be accomplished through a natural thyroid treatment proto
