This is the first time I've seen a book dedicated to a thyroid diet. Lots of good information. It's important to know that while some foods are generally considered healthy, e.g. cruciferous veggies  and leafy greens, sufferers of hypothyroidism have to watch out for them since they disturb the hormone balance of the body. The section on the glycemic index is particularly useful. Up to now we've heard about the glycemic connection to diabetes prevention. Who knew those with hypothyroidism need to watch that too? Readers will appreciate the handy quick reference list at the back that will help them distinguish between low, medium, and high grade glycemic index for a variety of foods.
