A member asked:
I heard some people say that soy products have side effects, especially on thyroid , is it true?thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely no: Soy does not affect the function of the thyroid gland based on current knowledge and research studies. However, it can affect the absorption of thyroid hormone, so it is not recommended to take soy products when taking thyroid hormone replacement. For more information, may refer to the american thyroid association website.
