Thats scary i wonder how muchA few years ago I had been prescribed a seaweed powder in a far too large dosage (sorry I can't remember how much) and my TSH shot up to 15
I am sure it was less than a drop of Lugol'sThats scary i wonder how much
This is extremely worrying, I was tempted to try a pinch of seaweed salt a few times a week to reduce my TSH slightly, but this has really put me off!I am sure it was less than a drop of Lugol's
Seaweed contains lignans, phytoestrogens that can depress thyroid function. This may explain why thyroid problems (except for goiter) are common among the Japanese, even though they eat a lot of seaweed.This is extremely worrying, I was tempted to try a pinch of seaweed salt a few times a week to reduce my TSH slightly, but this has really put me off!
I would think that lots of soy would be a bigger issueSeaweed contains lignans, phytoestrogens that can depress thyroid function. This may explain why thyroid problems (except for goiter) are common among the Japanese, even though they eat a lot of seaweed.
This makes a tasty chowder, but I think the ratio of tyrosine to Iodine would be far too great to create any T3 or T4 equivalent iodoproteins.@naevastar
I mash the oysters to increase surface area, add milk, let it cook around 75 °C (not literally boiling) for a while, stirring intermittently, then eat everything including the milk. See this post from the above linked thread for a more scientific preparation.
Interesting. How much iodine is technically in 1 oyster? Every friday i eat a dozen fresh oysters and it sets my body straight! But id assume theres a lot of iodine. I sometimes consume moreThis makes a tasty chowder, but I think the ratio of tyrosine to Iodine would be far too great to create any T3 or T4 equivalent iodoproteins.
I suspect that it would be mostly T1 formed in this soup, yet maybe that is even better? Providing tyrosine bound iodine for the body to readily iodinate further as required?
I've read of the thermogenic effects of T2, but haven't seen much about T1.
Oysters contain a lot of micronutrients, but esp. zinc and selenium. A dozen medium-sized oysters give you 90mg of zinc and 400 mcg selenium, which can be overkill. I‘d rather consume them in smaller quantities and higher frequency throughout the week.Interesting. How much iodine is technically in 1 oyster?

Looks to be about 55mcg per 110g serving according to this paperInteresting. How much iodine is technically in 1 oyster? Every friday i eat a dozen fresh oysters and it sets my body straight! But id assume theres a lot of iodine. I sometimes consume more
Is one oyster 110gs? I saw that but wasn’t sure how much one weighsLooks to be about 55mcg per 110g serving according to this paper
I think ~100 grams is a standard serving.Is one oyster 110gs? I saw that but wasn’t sure how much one weighs
Thank you. I will give it a try tho it doesnt sound super delish :)@naevastar
