Hi Ron,

 

Soy will reduce intestinal uptake of iodine and thus may cause thyroid problems

if iodine intake is not increased. In

Asian countries where soy has been used for a long time, the diet also contained

iodine rich sea fish or seaweed and

thus iodine deficiency was not a problem.

 

Taking one food out of it's cultural setting without some of the others may be a

worry.
