Goiters

[tayo]

There are foods that prevent the body from using iodine such as turnip, cabbage, mustard greens, cassava root, soybeans, peanuts, pinenuts and millet. These foods are called goitrogens and excessive consumption can cause goiters. However, cooking usually inactivates goitrogens.

Who knew?

This thread reminds me of that Seinfeld with the old lady with the giant football shaped goiter on the side of her neck.
