2. 1.Cruciferous vegetables (especially
raw)
Vegetables
like cauliflower, cabbage,
broccoli, radish, mustard etc. contain
some harmful substances known as
‘goiterogens’.
They affect functioning of thyroid gland
and may make the gland under-active.
Cooking destroys the goiterogens.
Therefore cooking these vegetables
thoroughly prevents the harm.
