Common plant oils block iodine!

There are a number of foods known as goitrogens that block iodine. Two goitrogens are quite prevalent in the American diet — peanuts and peanut butter and soybeans used most often in prepared foods as textured vegetable protein (a refined soy food) and soybean oil. For those of you who have trouble with low temp even though you take iodine supplements - this may be why.
On the other hand, coconut oil taken orally can raise basal body temperatures while increasing metabolism. Worth a try! The only vegetable oils that are good for cooking and doesn't affect the thyroid are coconut and olive oil.

OK, very cool information. I have low temps and tyrosine/kelp don't work. Couldn't tolerate cayenne. I'd be happy to take coconut oil - but how? Do you have recc dosages and where to get it?
Thanks!

It is recommended to take 3 tablespoons a day of coconut oil to correct the thyroid problem.

Thanks Sheep stew! I heard that before and bought some extra virgin coconut oil but I was only using it occasionally. I'll try more of it and see if that helps. It kinda makes your food taste funny but I guess I could get use to it. I gave up coffee and now I have to give up peanut butter?! This better be worth it!!!
Thanks for the info!!!!

Does it mean we have to avoid peanut butter during the whole duration of the boobies project? OMG. Didn't know that it involves all these....
does one just drink the coconut oil raw like that?

For the past few days I've been putting the coconut oil on my toast and frying/baking with it and I also put it in my protein shake smoothie (blenderized of course) and it not only raised my temp but it makes going to the bathroom really easy if you know what I mean. My temp has actually been on the high side for once so I think I'll stop the kelp/l-t for a day or two and see if stays up.
Great info... I'm so thankful you brought it up.
BTW, It said on my container to put it in smoothies that's why I put it in my protein shake, in case it seems a little weird (it did to me at first) It's not as bad as it sounds, just when it doesn't completely emulsify I'm a little squeemish.

I'm glad it worked well for you. Perhaps it could be the solution for those who doesn't get any higher temp from kelp or tyrosine.

that's great lindyrose that the coconut oil is working for your temp! I may just think about trying it myself so I can rid myself of swallowing those kelp pills everyday. Hope your temp stays up when you stop the kelp also.
Good luck everyone!
