RE: Healing My Thyroid Part 3: Food to Avoid
@kiwideb, what a great contribution!
Although we disagree about eggs (I commented on that somewhere on this page), you've gone to quite an effort here to share your natural health knowledge. And for that, I'm going to upvote your comment and resteem this post. Congrats Peggy, a nice windfall.
Question. Are you saying we should avoid foods on your 3 lists? I'm surprised that those healthy greens are no-nos. I'd love it if you would comment further. What's the rationale you have in mind here?
Thanks
Gary
We don't disagree about eggs, I just wasn't clear on my comment. If you can tolerate them, eggs are a good food. But some people don't tolerate even the best free range, pasture fed eggs, so must avoid them (at least for a while). Eggs are surprisingly high on the list of common allergens.
Where we possibly disagree is that greens are healthy. Personally, I think kale is for cows and not for humans, because a lot of us can't digest it.
As for the list in general, IF you don't have a thyroid issue and IF you have plenty of iodine in your diet, no reason to avoid them. Except soy. Unless it's fermented, it's bad news. But small amounts of natto, tempeh, miso and tamari are ok.
Maybe I should do a post explaining in more detail.
Thanks for the upvote.
Yes please, Deb. That post -- if you do write it, you'd be most welcome to come back here and link to it. Same goes for anything you write about soy and greens, even the very trendy kale.
Long live EGGS... as per your comments... which I've upvoted.
Gary
PS: I see this is on Peggy's blog. Oops! What cheek I had in inviting you... like it was my blog. But I still upvoted you, so that bit's good.
My blog, for when you do write those posts, is at @garyharvey and I hope to see you there again. Thanks, Deb.
I will let both you and Peggy know when it's written. Don't hold your breath though. I have a very busy week with a choir performance coming up Friday. But will make it my next priority.
