Anna, I researched your question and found a great article on soy products and thyroid. I had no idea that they affected throid function, actually all endocrine systems. Hopefully, people with throid and other endcrine disorders are educated about this by their healthcare professionals. Here's the link to the article I read: http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/soydangers.htm
