The effects on thyroid are not well documented. The study put up here was done on rats. There is only that one paper. Nothing else on PubMed. Since this study has not been replicated or
expanded upon, it remains murky at this point, IMO.
This one study has been picked up by many websites which mention it as POSSIBLE... that is because it is not confirmed in humans at this time, and r-lipoic has not been tested at all. R-lipoic was not available in 1991, as far as I know.
Dr. Sahelian has some information on it:
