endocrine disruptors

Often we are asked at this forum if to much Iodine will hurt the thyroid. The veterans at the forum knows that this isnt the fact, on the contrary.

-Here is a couple of great posts done at this forum, there is such a treasure chest in there, but in the beginning all the brainfog make the task of counting the Iodine drops difficult :)) - in addition to the fear of taking it. Had it myself, 5 years back.

Here are a couple of links. Think veggies, that we believe are healthy.. Yes, they are, but the methyl bromide used on them are not. Etc.

"Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that may interfere with the body’s endocrine system and produce adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects in both humans and wildlife. A wide range of substances, both natural and man-made, are thought to cause endocrine disruption, including pharmaceuticals, dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, polychlorinated biphenyls, DDT and other pesticides, and plasticizers such as bisphenol A. Endocrine disruptors may be found in many everyday products– including plastic bottles, metal food cans, detergents, flame retardants, food, toys, cosmetics, and pesticides. The NIEHS supports studies to determine whether exposure to endocrine disruptors may result in human health effects including lowered fertility and an increased incidence of endometriosis and some cancers. Research shows that endocrine disruptors may pose the greatest risk during prenatal and early postnatal development when organ and neural systems are forming."

"bromine, bromide, endocrine disruptor, toxin, toxic, thyroidBromides are a common endocrine disruptor. Because bromide is also a halide, it competes for the same receptors that are used in the thyroid gland (among other places) to capture iodine. This will inhibit thyroid hormone production resulting in a low thyroid state."
