Sulforaphane is directly toxic to the thyroid gland, inhibiting iodine uptake and thyroid hormone production.
⚠ High risk
We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.

“so for a feign competes with iodine absorption at the level of thyroid so it does one thing which may be hormetic and beneficial which is not unique like I said you can get adequate glutathione status without any any need for sulforaphane in your body but then it goes and competes with iodine the level of the thyroid and can induce issues with hypothyroidism”
“and it's always directly toxic at the level of the thyroid so this gets back to the idea of plant molecules as toxins there did from a different operating system we see this with all the plant molecules whether whether it's resveratrol or supporting whatever so fortifying circulates in the human body for a short amount of time before it's detoxified and it competes with iodine at the level of the thyroid so so far our fame is one of these family of compounds that are called way Trojans there are a number of quite regions amiodarone lithium so for a feign you know and they may inhibit the production of thyroid hormone the level of the thyroid so Sephora fame is actually meant or one of the defense mechanisms that we see the sulforaphane as it goes to the thyroid and inhibits thyroid hormone production”
“the small amount of sulforaphane that gets absorbed before it gets detoxified circulates in your blood and acts as a [ __ ] Trojan meaning it competes with iodine at the thyroid for absorption and then you can get iodine deficient at the level of the thyroid because these isothiocyanates can get absorbed into the thyroid and they inhibit the absorption of iodine so by eating a ton of broccoli sprouts you may increase your glutathione a little bit but you will probably push yourself towards hypothyroidism”
“sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate produced when myrosinase combines with glucoraphanin in brassica vegetables like broccoli and broccoli sprouts there are many isothiocyanates there are many glucosinolates like glucoraphanin this is clearly a plant defense mechanism that is aimed at inhibiting the absorption of iodine at the level of your thyroid and producing all sorts of negative effects in you as a human”
“there are many isothiocyanates that may have the potential to be negative in humans at the level of iodine absorption and the thyroid among other possible detrimental mechanisms”
“broccoli spears ll isothiocyanate glycosinolates goitrin nitrates ... kale is full of isothiocyanates like sulforaphane which are going to be negative for your thyroid and i think clearly net negative for humans”
“concentrations of thiocyanate and goitrin these are isothiocyanate compounds similar to sulforaphane in brassica vegetables and the associated potential risk for hypothyroidism”
“what are we doing through our thyroids could we be nuking our thyroids in a negative way and for what and for what just go get in your sauna just go get in your cold plunge just go exercise just go get in the sun”
