Q&A: AIM Members Commonly Ask These Questions

I have read that cruciferous vegetables can negatively affect those with hypothyroidism or those prone to hypothyroidism. Am I at risk when taking LeafGreens? There has only been one case that links cruciferous vegetables to hypothyroidism in humans — an 88-year-old woman who ate 1-1.5 kilograms (2-3 pounds or 1,000- 1,500 grams) of bok choy daily.

The World Health Organization released a report last year, stating that nearly everybody (99.7% of US citizens and, surprisingly the number was somehow slightly higher for Mexicans and Brits) is low on potassium. Those statistics almost make this article superfluous, but let’s soldier on anyway. Potassium is an important electrolyte. We need the stuff forContinue reading “7 Reasons To Get More Potassium”
