According to U.S. scientists from the private research institute Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia this was due to “internal voting body, which we seek to dictate what, how and in what form to consume. The study’s authors – Mary Sandy and Paul Breslin argue that those who literally hate vegetables, instinctively protect themselves from iodine deficiency and caused by that disruption of the thyroid gland. Many vegetables, especially broccoli, horseradish root and contain relatively large amounts of glucosinolates, which prevent the formation of organic iodine compounds in the body and their access to the thyroid gland. Without compounds iodine thyroid can not function normally. Therefore, in parts of the world where there is a shortage of food from non-vegetable origin, ie lack of iodine, many people suffer from increased thyroid. In a strong iodine deficiency slows mental development of children that with increasing age can not be compensated.
