So I just came across something a little depressing - apparently nuts and some vegetables are bad for the thyroid? I know soy is, but I didn't know that it was also harmful to eat peanuts?

"Some of the culprits most frequently cited by experts include kale, cabbage, turnips, mustard greens, Brussels sprouts, cassava, pine nuts, peanuts, millet, and soy-based products. Although the exact extent of their thyroid-suppressing action remains unclear, experts suggest avoiding the consumption of large quantities of foods in the goitrogenic category."
I don't have a thyroid problem, but I eat a lot of nuts/veggies (within my carb allowance) and so I don't want to run into problems later!
