7 Thyroid-Destroying Toxins Exposed – Healing Recipe You Need!

The thyroid gland, part of the endocrine system, is located under the Adam’s apple. The gland wraps around the trachea (windpipe) and consists of 2 lobes that form two wings connected by a middle part.

The gland uses iodine, found mostly in salt and seafood, and produces thyroid hormones. These hormones control metabolism, affect growth, and support many other important functions of the body.

The function of the thyroid gland is affected by many things. Unbelievably, there are 7 everyday ingredients that may harm this gland. Luckily, the risk of developing complications can be reduced by avoiding these toxic compounds as much as possible.

1. Plastic Materials

These materials are dangerous for the environment. They also pose risks to our bodies and to this gland. Antimony, a chemical released from plastic bottles, is one problem.
One study reveals that this chemical, found in bottled juices, is very dangerous. Antimony in plastic materials reduces the function of the gland.

2. Soy

The proteins in soy neutralize thyroid peroxidase. The phytoestrogens—proteins contained in soy—disturb the normal function of the thyroid gland by blocking hormone production. They also prevent the body from using iodine effectively.

3. Fluoride

Most drinking water in America contains fluoride. In the first half of the 20th century, small daily amounts of fluoride were prescribed to treat hyperthyroidism. However, these prescriptions (5 milligrams of fluoride daily) did not take into account the fluoride already present in drinking water.

4. Halogens

Halogen elements like chlorine and fluorine are found in the environment, water, and food. Chlorine and fluorine disturb the normal function of the gland by blocking iodine transport.

5. Bromine

Bromine is found in many places and is toxic. For instance, you can find it in certain foods and in pool-cleaning detergents.

6. Pesticides

Chemical and antifungal pesticides enter the body through food. They reduce the thyroid gland’s ability to function normally and make weight loss more difficult.

7. Perchlorate

Perchlorate is created during the burning of fuels. It enters the body through water used on fruits and vegetables and through drinking water.
