This curated audio highlight features Ray Peat speaking in the interview kmud-080801-thyroid-metabolism-and-coconut-oil. The excerpt begins at 00:54:05.700 and runs for 35 seconds.

When healthy individuals without any previous thyroid disease were fed 30 grams of pickled soybeans per day for one month, Ishizuki et al. reported goiter and elevated individual thyroid-simulating hormone levels, although still within the normal range in 37 healthy iodine-sufficient adults. One month after stopping soybean consumption, individual TSH values decreased to the original levels, and goiters were reduced in size. And as I stated earlier, 11 ounces, which is, you know, a cup and a half of soy milk, is enough to suppress someone's thyroid.
