Did You Know...?

One day this disease which quietly grants those of us in the UK a prescription payment exempt card, showing clearly how some official somewhere is aware of the seriousness and the amount of people it affects, will be taken just as seriously in the public world.

Which Charity

Which Charity was a website set up by myself and friends, with the aim of allowing users to find causes they are interested in and ways of helping they prefer. It also had the aim of raising awareness of and supporting various charities through free advertising. Check out the official video here: http://www.youtube.com/user/WhichCharity ..and 'The Charity Supplement' here: http://www.scribd.com/Which%20Charity (note that there are many thyroid awareness documents included in this list) The website has now been handed over to a new team of keen, qualified individuals who have the time to take it further.

Eat Rubbish, Feel Rubbish

OUT comes another problem with the fast food industry: it buggers up your thyroid.

Yep, so it's not just that they make you fat; clog up your arteries; taste disgusting; make you feel sick and kill the jungle and murder animals in the process: it makes you fat and gives you hypothyroidism.

Brilliant, right?

Of course the two go hand in hand. Low thyroid means low metabolism and that means low everything else (except for the amount of space your body takes up) ....unless you eat so little because you have no hunger level whatsoever.

An article on About.com Thyroid Disease, by Mary Shoman, explains new research which "apparently" proves that fast-food restaurants such as Burger King and McDonalds have a low iodine content in their food. For those who don't know, not enough iodine in the blood leads to hypothyroidism. Too much iodine, on the other hand, leads to hyperthyroidism.

According to the article and the results of the research, the findings go hand in hand with an overall reduction in iodine content in people's blood in the US paired with an increased consumption of fast-food.

So what's the point? Basically; quite simply; obviously, here is yet another reason why we shouldn't eat fast food!
