Today's smoothie recipe uses NON-goitrogenic greens and fruits to relieve the thyroid and upper thalamus from the damage done by goitrogenic veggies and fruits. When one eats certain fruits and veggies, such as soy or broccoli or gluten-containing items, the thyroid function is suppressed by interfering with uptake of iodine. Symptoms of this thyroid suppression can include everything from goiter to swollen ankles to insomnia to hair loss to heart conditions. This little butterfly-shaped organ at the base of the throat is more important to our lives than most of us know.
