The Impact of Soy on Thyroid

What impact does soy products have on thyroid? That's the question that I have for the soy industry who makes billions in profits every year selling everything from soy milk, to soy powder, and the like. The fact is soy products can negatively impact your health . . . but we don't hear about this in the news or in the health journals. We only read about the health promoting qualities of soy - however, it's worth noting that soy foods can negatively affect your thyroid. The bottom line is soy products increases the risk of thyroid disease. For those who are currently struggling to maintain healthy weight with an under active thyroid (hypothyroidism), you might need to think twice about soy.
