: : Two of them confirm spinach can cause goiters in humans.

: It is just one article that you posted two links to, same author, same article. No mention of iron or any explanation as to how spinach (or peaches) causes hypothyroidism. Perhaps you could elaborate.

: : The other talks about Iron and its relation to thyroid disorders, which would include goiters.

: Did you even read or understand this article? It is about iron storage disease, a metabolic disorder which causes humans to store excessive and harmful amounts of iron. That excess affects virtually every aspect of the body including, of course, the thyroid. Iron storage disease and its possible effect on the thyroid is not caused by consuming spinach or other high iron food.
