Cassava is not a goitrogen in mice. - PubMed - NCBI I'm not sure it's goitrogenic.
That's strange...I've always considered it to be so. I come from a cassava eating culture and can say that my throat/thyroid area does seem ever so slightly inflamed when I eat a lot of cassava..that being said though, there are two varieties: bitter and sweet. The sweet variety I believe is far less goitrogenic, plus fermenting/boiling/pounding into a thick starch may serve to decrease goitrogenic effects. I do know an entire village in South-East Nigeria where cassava is consumed daily, were found to be suffering from goitres.
Tapioca is completely safe.
Some folks when preparing traditional dishes with fresh roots use the water in which the bitter cassava root is boiled, THAT is highly goitrogenic since it contains a lot of cyanide.

Once I ate Brazilian tucupi at one dinner. I felt awful the whole night afterwards with rigid muscles.Ahh yes I had to stop my mother from doing this - took a lot of convincing until I asked her to explain why the water smelled like sweet almonds lol.
