Pizza, despite its reputation, is healthier thyroid-wise in comparison to a stereotypically healthy dish like chicken and broccoli.

Why is that?

Why is that?

Chicken is high in PUFAs, and broccoli feeds gut bacteria, overall, the dish has a bad Ca: P ratio, not enough carbohydrates, and too much PUFA, thus, Pizza wins in comparison in those and other regards.

Yes, I'll post a few threads and resources on this later. But, TLDR: gut bacteria can produce endotoxins that then release serotonin and start the cascade of stress hormones.

What is this?

Calcium to Phosphorus ratio, it's essential to have more calcium than P on average to inhibit the parathyroid, if you don't, calcium is consequently leeched from your bones to compensate.

I'll look into it more deeply later.
