The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
so selenium is really key in the conversion process and here's the thing so when you're hypothyroid everything's sluggish and slow which includes the production of hydrochloric acid when you're chewing food and then things don't get broken down then they don't digest and that's why thyroid patients often become extremely low in iron no matter how much meat they're eating we've got to talk about the ferritin connection here in a minute and then also vitamin D b12 like you just become low in a sort of nutrients including selenium and you can't hold on to it
when you're in a diseased state of subpar or like full-on hypothyroidism or just like you know kind of low-grade you're not detoxing okay and I also had an MTHFR mutation I didn't know about I mean there were so many other things going on in this soup that could have contributed to it
