SAY WHAT!? Who knew? Our Amazing Formulator Fred Saenz that’s who!! Thanks for the info!
NEVER EAT or JUICE these VEGETABLES UNCOOKED (raw) while taking the B’s. They contain a chemical that blocks the absorption of iodine to your thyroid gland which can slow your weight loss or lead to weight gain.
Arugula, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, broccolini, cauliflower, choy sum, bock choy, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, daikon, kale, kaumatua, kohlrabi, radish, rutabaga, mustard seeds and greens, collard greens, mizuna, turnip root and greens, tatsoi, spinach, horseradish, wasabi, garden cress, watercress, land cress, and unfermented soy.
They contain Isothiocyanates a category of substances in cruciferous vegetables that have been associated with decreased thyroid function by blocking the uptake of iodine.
Since cooking has been shown to inactivate the Goitrogenic compounds, for individuals with deficient thyroid hormone production, cooking of cruciferous vegetables before eating is highly recommended.
Isothiocyanates found in cruciferous vegetables appear to be heat-sensitive, and cooking lowers the availability of these substances. Avoid consuming these Goitergenic vegetables in a juice, as the Goitergenic properties are fully intact in their raw state. You can consume small amounts raw in a meal, but it is advised to consume the majority of these vegetables cooked.
