Avoid unless cooked thouroughly:
* African cassava
* Asparagus
* babassu (a palm-tree coconut fruit popular in Brazil and Africa)
* Broccoli
* brussels sprouts
* Cabbage
* Cauliflower
* horseradish
* kale
* kohlrabi
* leafy green vegetables (turnip greens, mustard greens, collard greens)
* Legumes (beans and peas)
* peanuts
* pine nuts
* Processed meats
* radishes
* rutabaga
* Spinach
* turnips
* Watercress
Avoid entirely:
* Soy in any form that isn't fermented
* millet (actually WORSE when cooked)
* Rapeseed, canola, flax, soybean, safflower, corn and other polyunsaturated fats/oils
*Flaxseed and Flaxseed Oil

I'm just wondering where this list comes from exactly?
Does this have anything to do with the Low Iodine Diet cancer people are supposed to go on or something?
And why are you supposed to stay away from these foods?
I've been actually wondering if there were certain foods or supplements to stay away from. I searched google before and the only thing that ever comes up is Soy. It doesn't make sense that I'd need to stay away from all those vegetables. Fresh veggies are supposed to be the BEST kind. And I asked on here before about flaxseed, someone posted that there was no reason to avoid it.
Except for the flax, the oils listed are crap whether you have thyroid problems or not. Same with Proccessed meats - crapfood even if you're in perfect health.
Peanuts.... who cooks peanuts??
I'd like more info on which foods to avoid if it exists anywhere..
Anyone have any info or can also comment on the food thing?
