Soy Milk vs. Thyroid Discussion

[Guest guest]

I no longer drink soy milk because I noticed it immediately caused " that

feeling " in my thyroid area. Of course, I'm extremely sensitive and " body

aware " and not everyone notices a problem food immediately. For some it may

take hours or even days.

 

However, soy milk will not necessarily create a thyroid problem. Though, it

WILL cause problems with a person who has a propensity to thyroid issues

(those of us with a family history of thyroid problems, or who have had

rounds of certain drugs in the past - such as prednisone or sulfa drugs, to

name a couple of culprits) and will exacerbate a problem if one already

exists. Too much soy, in even a healthy person, CAN slow down thyroid

activity... but, note that this is " too much " and that will differ for each

person.

 

Soy is neither the great demon nor the great cure-all. But, those of us

with thyroid issues AND those of us who are raw should simply avoid it.
