In Reply to: A response , but need some help. (long post) posted by girlzilla on March 14, 2003 at 12:37:49:
All the things listed here are goitrogens. Some may also be high in oxalates. I believe you can find all this info in Hatfield's wonderful book. :-)
:1) BOK CHOY: I need some help here. Here is an MK quote.
:"When fed in excess, vegetables including broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, cauliflower, and bok choy (and soy) cause hypothyroidism, a thyroid deficiency.This slows down the metabolism, causes lethargy, and muscle and joint aches. The
:animal gains weight due to the slowed metabolism and lowered activity levels, but overallgrowth is abnormally slowed and normal development is retarded. These vegetables may
:be fed in small amounts in addition to the regular vegetables, mixed into their salad, but should never become the primary ingredients or regular additions to the diet."
:Is this because it is a goitrogen? Goiters being a thyroid-related condition? I don't know. I know soy is billed as a goitrogen, and that broccoli is high in oxalates, but I don't know which one Bok Choy is full of! Help!
