283 262-that’s how many people watched a 2 week article in MN on how VEGETABLES can harm the thyroid and cause HYPOTHYROIDISM. How many of these almost 300 thousand people trustfully horrified and stopped eating many vegetables traditionally used in the kitchens of the peoples of Russia? But are vegetables so harmful to the thyroid gland? Can they cause hypothyroidism?

You read that, you start looking at yourself. Not much hair fall out? How often is fatigue? Ah, that’s why I use softening creams so often — because of dry skin!

“That’s thanks to the journalists for warned. Urgently need to do a blood test and go to give up the endocrinologist. Yes… and immediately stop there is such as cabbage”, — for example, so and thought a significant number of gullible readers.

Here’s what’s next in the article:

As you can see, journalists, absolutely not hesitating, and without specifying specific scientific articles (“works”) endocrinologists, took advantage of psychological reception — action on the reader of authoritative opinion. Allegedly, according to sources known only to us…

As you can see, the authors of the article did not understand exactly how the substances from vegetables work. In fact, the substances contained in cruciferous plants (cabbage, etc.) can compete with iodine when entering the cells of the thyroid gland. Due to the decrease in iodine intake, the thyroid gland is overstressed… BUT!

“BUT” is that the NUMBER of these compete with iodine substances from vegetables should be SIGNIFICANT ! After all, we are not rabbits that eat only cabbage!
