Hi
I have read in two different books that eating soy products is really bad for thyroid function. No wonder I cant loose weight as soy is pretty much one of the few foods that I can tolerate. Has any one else heard anything about this?
Thank you!!

Hi - Nope, I haven't heard this. The books should cite research studies that document this, and give the clinical journal that published the studies. Do they have this info?

Hi Heather, thanks for your reply.
I dont remember where I first read this, but the second place I read it was "500 Low-Carb Recipes" by Dana Carpenter. She says(but she doesnt say where she got her info from) "Soy is well known to interfere with thyroid function..." the scary part is, I went to google.com and put soy+thyroid in for my search and got a ton of sites that all say that soy surpresses thyroid function, some say they were based on a FDA report. I didnt have time to read them all, but it certainly is a frightening thought. Perhaps there is a nutritionist or MD out there that knows more about this?? Thanks for your imput, I am getting desperate in the "can't lose weight, can't eat anything" department...LOL
