Cabbage, can it actually be harmful to 'these people'?

A patient with hypothyroidism

Excessive consumption of cabbage by people with hypothyroidism can worsen their symptoms.

Hypothyroidism is a condition caused by a deficiency of thyroid hormones.

The metabolic functions of the entire body decline, and fatigue occurs easily. Patients with hypothyroidism should be cautious about consuming goitrogenic ingredients.

This ingredient is found abundantly in cruciferous vegetables like cabbage.

Goitrogen inhibits the production of thyroid hormones in the body, which can worsen symptoms in patients who already have a deficiency of thyroid hormones.
