Ideal Protein (soy) and Hypothyroidism??? - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet ...

(testing is still being done or to be done to prove the harms of GMO or GE food OR, in the mind of some if, organic is of any greater benefit.) Another issue is that most of the soy issue come from soy isoflavones and there are many out there for us to eat - soy milk, soy nuts, soy protein shakes, soy candy bars, soy cereal, and foods enriched with soy, as well as soy supplements. The biggest concerns seem to be for people with thyroid problems already who eat alot of goiterogenic foods (soy is one) and those with preexisting iodine deficiencies ( I have iodine deficiency.) MANY doctors are opposed to the use of soy isoflavones by thyroid patients. Try googling: thyroid and soy problems, soy and autoimmune hypothyroidism, soy and iodine deficiency and thyroid. There are whey, albumin, soy, milk protein, textured soy protein, vegetable proteins, collagen protein and our animal proteins at meal time. There are no noted soy isoflavones only soy protein concentrate and soy isolates.
