It's no big surprise that raw soy inhibits thyroid production. That's
been known for years, and it's why uncooked soybeans aren't used as
animal feed. I understood that heat treatment was supposed to
inactivate the thyroid inhibitor, but maybe it's more complicated.
OTOH, all those tofu-eating Chinese don't seem to be dying off in
hordes.
