Goitrogens are compounds that can interfere with the production of thyroid hormones, particularly thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), by causing inflammation in the thyroid gland. Examples of goitrogenic compounds include the glucosinolates found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and kale, as well as the isothiocyanates found in plants such as cabbage, cauliflower, and bok choy. Ingestion of large amounts of these compounds has been linked to an increased risk of thyroid dysfunction and even goiter, a condition characterized by an enlarged thyroid gland. However, moderate consumption of these vegetables is generally considered safe and may even have health benefits, as they also contain other nutrients and phytochemicals with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
