Thyroid and CBD

In case any one is interested, the article above highlights CBD usage linked to thyroid disease.

I for one am a long term user of CBD and while I can not say that it has conclusively not lead to my thyroid disease, I am inclined to think this is some usual scare tactics to undermine people taking their health into their own hands.

It’s an interesting correlation nonetheless,

I notice it's says products containing. Not pure oil . Maybe some sort of reaction to being put in a food concoction . I agree with you , possibly scare tactics

It would be interesting to see the data they have to warrant the claim.

For starters, when I think of people who use CBD often people with health difficulties, there’s a good chance they are or have been taking some prescribed medication that has caused harm to the liver and thyroid.

As for pure vs not pure, I doubt the expert has studied this in any great deal.

Expert? Just a naysayer more likely to initiate scare tactics

Good point about other meds . Also I've not seen food with cbd oil. Is it junk type food.

I think the claim may be based on some correlations rather than actual data or study. Correlations are very important, but this one seems to jump to causation within our due diligence.

I would love to see more meaningful study on CBD, rather than the rubbishing of it which I half suspect is based on keeping people unwell and medications that make them worse and companies in profits and health care professionals in jobs. Think about it… say, if an IT professional created the perfect IT system for anything, they’d be out of a job!

We have an endogenous cannabinoid system for a good reason - it's not just happenstance :)
