Selenium. Selenium is required for appropriate thyroid hormone synthesis, activation, and metabolism. Adequate selenium supports efficient thyroid hormone synthesis and metabolism and protects the thyroid gland from damage caused by excessive exposure to iodide (Zimmerman MB 2002). Long-term selenium deficiency in experimental animal models led to thyroid cell death and scarring after high iodide loads (Kohrle J 1999). Selenium deficiency may seriously influence the generation of free radicals, the conversion of thyroxineT4 to T3, and the autoimmune process (Kohrle J 1999).

Dietary Recommendations
Some foods contain goiterogenic substances that prevent the utilization of iodine. These foods include canola oil, Brassica vegetables (e.g., cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower), corn, cassava, sweet potatoes, lima beans, and pearl millet. The actual content of goitrogens in these foods is quite low, however, and cooking destroys it.
Hypothyroid patients should also avoid soy supplements (Bell DS et al 2001; Jabbar MA et al 2001).
