Guest guest Posted September 2, 2001 Report Share Posted September 2, 2001 Thanks; Around here people eat fish for health, but I'm not sure if the thyroid is receiving much protection, for as much seafood that is available around here (mid-Atlantic area), tuna, farm-raised Atlantic salmon, flounder, tilapia, catfish (mostly farm-raised), and then perch, spot, trout are the norm around here. Of course you have the shrimp " gulpers " , but though they are high in iodine, there are other reasons that they are frowned upon (from biblical to health reasons - perse Dr. Mercola in the same interview mentioned earlier); so is seafood enough of a recourse to counteract soy, or do we start eating veggie sushi?? Steve ----------------------------- I am mostly but no longer strictly vego, and I have been eating soy for many years, and not much dairy. In Australia, they dont add soy and corn to just about everything, and there are plenty of nonGM and organic soy products widely available. I love tempeh and we eat a fair bit of it, maybe 2 or 3 times a week. Not much tofu, but sometimes. Miso sometimes. Lots of soy milk- organic nonGM. Lately its because we have all had colds and flus (its winter down under) and I have some lovely organic cows milk in the freezer but I dont want to get into the dairy while we are getting through the cold season. I have a mildly underactive thyroid, but very mild. I tend to be low in minerals. Maybe its because of the soy- I am aware of the issue. So I bought some organic cows milk for some variation, and I have stopped buyng it at various times. I believe in a varied diet. But I am not convinced the soy is sooo bad. I dont think its the same here in Australia. We are not inundated with it. I am not into the isolated soy medicinal products though. Interesting topic. I eat seaweed too, to balance the thyroid issue. love Peela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2001 Report Share Posted September 3, 2001 Biblical dietary laws against seafood (but not fish) have a strong purpose. It turns out that shrimp, mussles, clams, and to some degree squid are much more prone to getting polluted in many ways. They can't get out of the way if some polluted water drifts in, but fish can of course. I love the idea of farm-raised fish given the current ecological situation.
