I just think the whole kale thing has gone a little overboard. It's everywhere you go, and it can actually inhibit thyroid function.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Eat kale sometimes, but skip it as a trend.
I've done a lot of kale as well as broccoli. I love it. Asparagus I couldn't stand before, but now it is part of my meals. All three of those are greens that I never used to eat. Now, a smoothie for me is nothing but fruits and veggies and vanilla Greek yogurt.
I love kale. Genuinely. I really am glad that I have a platform to express that. I think a good raw kale salad is always just a meaty mouth feel. I also really like kelp noodle pasta with a little kale on top.
My secret with kale is to add lots of sweet or sharp flavours to offset some of that grassy intensity.
I saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with Guess on it. I said, Thyroid problem?
We have all the power. Us consumers have all the power, and if we can show that, 'Hey, I want transparency,' Hey, I want something that's going to be nutritious and great,' then suddenly, kale will be all over the marketplace, and turmeric will be all over the marketplace.
The thyroid cells take up iodine with particular avidity and are able to store it up in great quantities.
I don't have a thyroid anymore. I had radioactive iodine treatment, which destroyed my thyroid. I take medication every day.
I'm a huge kale fan.
I eat a lot of kale, and I drink about half a gallon to a gallon of water a day.
