CAUSES OF HYPOTHYROIDISM
Many factors can combine to cause hypothyroidism.
Here is my list of probable causes:
- Insufficient selenium in the diet.
- Insufficient zinc in the diet.
- Excessive cadmium intake from smoking or possibly from
eating large amounts of green leafy vegetables.
- Mercury from silver amalgam dental fillings which
depletes selenium.
- Excessive intake of high copper foods (beans, nuts,
etc.), combined with too little zinc and selenium.
- Chromium deficiency.
- Manganese deficiency.
- Iron deficiency.
- Cobalt deficiency (vitamin B-12).
- Estrogen mimics from environmental and food sources such
as from canned foods.
- High intake of sulfur compounds in food, water, or air.
