What is the origin of goitrogens in the diet?
Naturally occuring
Does fermentation inactivate goitrogens in cabbage?
Fermentation does not entirely inactivate goitrogens in cabbage, but it can reduce their levels. Goitrogens, which can interfere with thyroid function, are primarily found in raw cabbage and other cruciferous vegetables. The fermentation process can break down some of these compounds, making the cabbage potentially less harmful when consumed. However, cooking is generally more effective at reducing goitrogen levels compared to fermentation.
Can bearded eat cauliflower?
RAW cauliflower is safe for bearded dragons in small portions and on rare occasions. Cauliflower contains Goitrogens which mess with iodine and causes issues with the thyroid gland.
Does Chinese kale contain goitrogens and oxalate like normal kale does?
From what I have found on the Internet, Chinese kale seems to contain goitrogens. See pp. 148 and 149 of this scientific journal article by a group of Chinese researchers: http://www.academicjournals.org/AJB/PDF/pdf2008/18Jan/You%20et%20al.pdf. This article seems to indicate that in general the benefits of Chinese kale are greater than the disadvantages. But read the article carefully to distinguish between the seeds and the leaves of the plant - the chemical concentrations are very different. beamup2
Is soya milk good for the health?
On my Facebook page, T H E E C O C H E F, I wrote about soy, and posted a video link from Dr. Mercola. It is important to read and follow all you can with regard to soy, so that you are aware of the actual health risks of consuming soy, even organic, and even lacto-fermented. Soy presents three areas of concern: 1) Trypsin (protein digestion inhibitor) 2) Phytic Acid(nutrient inhibitor), and 3) Goitrogens (impairs thyroid function). Fermentation definitely breaks down trypsin and phytic acid, to make the soy more bio-available, but it is not clear as to whether it also breaks down the goitrogens, and there is even some evidence to suggest that it makes the goitrogens more bio-available. So, if you have any issues with your thyroid, you should avoid every kind of soy (soy milk, tofu, soy sauce, tamari), even fermented soy (tempeh, miso, and natto).
What supplement is good for sluggish thryoid?
Iodine. Greatly enhances (is necessary) for thyroid function. Found abundantly in seaweeds, Himalayan salts, or also can be supplemented with nascent iodine or seaweed supplements (13mg/day recommended by some)... For thyroids it also helps to avoid goitrogens, foods which inhibit iodine integration, such as peanuts, soybeans, etc... Best wishes and happy health!
Can lizzards have cabbage?
Yes, lizards can eat cabbage in moderation, as it is not toxic to them. However, cabbage should not be a staple in their diet, as it can lead to digestive issues due to its high fiber content and potential goitrogens. It's best to offer a variety of vegetables, fruits, and insects to ensure a balanced diet. Always check specific dietary needs based on the lizard species you have.
Can eggplant and sayote can cause of having goiter?
Eggplant and sayote (chayote) are not typically associated with causing goiter. Goiter is primarily linked to iodine deficiency or certain autoimmune conditions affecting the thyroid. However, some cruciferous vegetables can contain goitrogens, substances that may interfere with thyroid function, but eggplant and sayote are not significant sources of these compounds. A balanced diet with adequate iodine is important for thyroid health.
Can people with hypothyroid eat mung beans?
Yes, people with hypothyroidism can eat mung beans. These legumes are nutritious and provide protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals. However, it's important to consume them in moderation and ensure a balanced diet, as some legumes can contain goitrogens that may interfere with thyroid function when consumed in large quantities. Consulting a healthcare provider or nutritionist is advisable for personalized dietary recommendations.
Why cant desert tortoise eat red cabbage?
Desert tortoises should avoid eating red cabbage because it contains high levels of goitrogens, which can interfere with thyroid function. Additionally, red cabbage has a high oxalate content, which can lead to calcium absorption issues and potentially contribute to health problems like kidney stones. It's important for these tortoises to have a balanced diet primarily consisting of grasses, herbs, and other leafy greens.
Can rabbits eat choi sum?
Pak choi and other chinese cabbages, like most all cruciferous vegetables, are safe for most rabbits to eat in moderation. These veggies are high in goitrogens, which can be dangerous in large amounts, and they're also indicated in gas, which can lead to serious illness -- for these reasons, crucifers should be limited in your rabbit's diet. If your rabbit is particularly sensitive to gas, you should eliminate these foods from your rabbit's diet entirely.
