Thyroid Diet Research Papers
The Thyroid Diet
It is estimated that 20 million Americans have some type of thyroid disease with up to 60 percent of those people completely unaware of their condition. This means millions are living with the symptoms of a thyroid disorder and either have no idea what’s wrong with them, or they have learned to live with the fatigue, aches, pains, and digestive issues as if they are “normal”.
The most common types of thyroid disease are Grave’s disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, goiter, and thyroid nodules. While prescription medications can certainly mask the symptoms of the disease, the thyroid diet is one of the best approaches to treating it in a holistic way.
The advantage of the thyroid diet (also called the Hashimoto’s diet), is …show more content…
For example:
Leaky Gut Syndrome
As mentioned above, leaky gut occurs when the gaps in your intestinal lining widen due to inflammation. This allows bits of undigested food, yeast, and other toxins to enter your bloodstream, which, in turn, causes inflammation that triggers autoimmunity.
Fluoride
A study done on children living in a New Delhi neighborhood with an average water fluoride level of 4.37 ppm showed evidence of clinical hypothyroidism directly attributed to the fluoride. They also found borderline low free T3 levels among all children exposed to fluoridated water.

Soy
Most soy produced in the United States and Canada is genetically modified. It contains a pesticide called glyphosate that disrupts the body’s ability to detoxify endocrine-disrupting chemicals and carcinogens, leaving those who eat GMOs much more susceptible to the development of chronic diseases, including thyroid disease.
