Goitrin and other isothiocyanates found in brassica vegetables can inhibit iodine uptake by the thyroid and potentially lead to hypothyroidism.

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.

“there is some very convincing data with other isothiocyanates and the impairment of iodine uptake at the level of the thyroid so concentrations of thiocyanate and goitrin and human plasma their precursor concentrations in brassica vegetables and associated potential risk for hypothyroidism radioiodine uptake to the thyroid is inhibited by 194 micromole per micromole of goytrin but not 77 micromole of goitrin collards brussels sprouts and some russian kale contains sufficient goitrin to potentially decrease iodine uptake by the thyroid”
