Health, Cruciferous, Cabbage, Broccoli,etc. Raw bad for Thyroid?

[Guest guest]

So today I turn over a new leaf.

I'm going to make sure I eat something raw before lunch no matter what.

I grab a few leaves of red cabbage to much on in the AM.

Now by 4:30 I know I've sabatagoged my thyroid.

Well at least now I won't have an guilt when I don't want to eat the raw

brocolli and cauliflower when it's on a buffet.

Eating healthy is a science.

Thanks, JoAnn!!!!

Every thing I like to eat!

I am taking natural thyroid supplement. After all the floride treatments

as a child and the city water...no wonder! NG
