I Made My Testosterone Off The Scale High - Men's Health

How about the estrogen lowering effect of broccoli?

I don't think broccoli is a universal yes or no - seems like a grey zone - if one can consume and feels good see no problem.

In my experience any cruciferous: brussel, cabbage, broccoli lowers my body temps and clouds/slows the mind pretty quickly and for a few hours after.

I've noticed in the past that it does increase morning erections when consumed with dinner - could be effects on estrogen or something else - hard to say.

I still wonder about cistanche, everyone talks about the T increasing effects, but a search seems to show articles of increasing E as well. Until I see otherwise, I am not chancing cistanche. Example of a search of cistanche and estrogen: Evaluation of the safety profiles of estrogenic Chinese herbal medicines in breast cancer - PubMed

Is the sour kraut considered anti thyroid too?

Is the sour kraut considered anti thyroid too?

Yes - sauer kraut has anti-thyroid factors BUT if one enjoys it and doesn't notice anything negative probably not an issue. The body probably compensates for the thyroid effects. Sensitive or low thyroid people probably more prone to antithyroid effects.
