00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,200
Some scientists saying we 
shouldn't eat too much broccoli.

2
00:00:03,300 --> 00:00:06,800
Kale or cabbage, aren't they 
supposed to be good for you? 

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,800
What's going on here? 
You know, it's a funny question 

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,000
because it's counterintuitive to
what we hear and I have a 

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,100
podcast called the zero hunger 
guide and this is the number one

6
00:00:15,100 --> 00:00:17,900
question. 
People ask is so many people are

7
00:00:17,900 --> 00:00:19,500
looking at plant based 
nutrition. 

8
00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:23,000
Shockingly though, plant-based 
nutrition, things like kale 

9
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,700
broccoli. 
These things cabbage included, 

10
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:29,500
can be problematic for people 
primarily because they contain 

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,200
Plant defenses, that inhibit the
absorption of iodine at the 

12
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,700
level of the thyroid, and the 
heart and the body's and 

13
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:39,200
hormones. 
These plant defense mechanisms 

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,600
because the plants don't want to
seat them, fruits are different.

15
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,200
But these are all this family of
cabbage. 

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,800
And unfortunately, they can 
cause these problems with 

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,600
thyroid and heart issues.
