Thyroid Toxins: Double-Edged Swords of the Kingdom Plantae

My 2007 Special Report, updated with some new reflections.

I wrote this Special Report in 2007.

I believe this knowledge is well worth taking in now, 15 years later, though I would add several updates:

• The discussion of millet should be tempered with the fact that many processed foods that use so-called “millet” as an ingredient are using proso millet, to which this discussion does not apply. For more details, see Why It Matters What Type of Millet You Eat.

• The mechanisms of hormesis are much better understood in 2022 than they were in 2007. See Lesson 8: Beneficial Toxins in my Antioxidant Course for an updated view.
