A recent study at the School of Public Health Center for nutrition, healthy lifestyle and prevention of Loma Linda University diseases, the consumption of large amounts of soy products combines a negative impact on the function of women in the thyroid.
The study found an association between soy food intake and increased serum hormone (TSH) than in women; Women are the diseases most frequently thyroid than men and the impact of environmental factors or thyroid goitrogens may be more sensitive. This is especially true in the perimenopause and menopause.
Serena Tonstad, MD, one of the co-investigators of the study, said. "Select Many consumers soy products as healthy food alternative animal our research at Loma Linda University, however, suggest that high soy consumption evidence of an adverse effect on women provides, especially those who already have a thyroid limit for other reasons."
"This could suggest that women who consume large amounts of soy, an annual review of your TSH have," Tonstad said.
For this study, 548 women and 295 men were a subset of the cohort, who participated in the study of Adventist Health-2, completed six repeated calls 24 hours of power within 6 months. It is estimated that supply of soy proteins and soy isoflavones, and their relationships were calculated measured with TSH concentrations after six months.
The AHS-2 consists of more than 96,000 church members aged 30 and over living in the United States and Canada who completed a questionnaire containing information on lifestyle, medical history and demographics.
Some of the advantages of consuming soy products include LDL-cholesterol levels in the serum is reduced. They were also soy-based foods to relieve symptoms of menopause, to promote bone health, reduce cardiovascular risk and protect against cancer. In spite of these advantageous properties of soy protein and isoflavones are the consumption of large amounts of soy not without discussion. It is feared that isoflavones may affect thyroid function.
