Hypothyroidism

 

So I just found out that flaxseed is high in goitrogens and not recommended if diagnosed with hypothyroidism.?

Does anyone know if toasting the seeds removes goitrogens, and would we still have the positive effects of the seeds??
Is the flax oil alone free from goitrogens?? The max dosage recommendation for someone with hypothyroid is 2 tbsp of flaxseed. Not sure how to get the daily 5 tbsp of flaxseed in without causing more harm to my thyroid or is it worth the risk?

Any advice?would be greatly appreciated.?
Thanks,

I have Hashimotos with marginally elevated TSH. I am getting ultrasounds done every two months due to thyroid cancer and have had no problem with the flaxseed or oil.

That is good to know. I wonder if the thought about goitrogens hurting the thyroid the same as the mistaken idea that flax should not be taken with estrogen positive breast cancers. There are so many studies that prove that flax helps clear out the dirty estrogens from our bodies. I'm trying to prevent a cancer recurrence, and have read many reports of positive results with flax and BC.?

The only proof I can find that goitrogens hurt the thyroid is from a conclusion a doctor in the 1930s made from observing a rabbit eating cabbage.??

It seems the many positive flax properties have a way of balancing things out.?

Thanks for your response. It relieved some worry.? I guess I need to monitor my thyroid more closely for peace of mind.?

I have secondary hypo and have been following Budwig protocol for over
15 years and it hasn't made any difference to the degree of hypo, I
also eat strawberries and cabbage. Your mileage may vary.
