Hi there, a recent thread asked about advice on going vegan. superb_lulu I thought that was a really interesting question. I realised that I'm pretty ignorant on the topic and wondered what the evidence was for avoiding things like Soya, caffiene and cruciferous veg. I know there are few books by people with strong ideas on what to eat for thyroid or autoimmune problems but don't know what's actually reliable and what's based on good evidence.
For example, I came across this review on soya and thyroid problems that suggests quite a complex picture and that there are health benefits as well as possible problems in eating soya if you are hypothyroid.

Does anyone know of a recent scientific review that seperates fact from fiction? I'm beginning to think that perhaps we need to put a non biased honest review together.
