Especially broccoli, for whatever reason. Instead of that beautiful dark green color it becomes a brownish green color. Maybe because they've boiled it to death.

Cooking vegetables is not hard if you steam them rather than soak away all the nutritients...overcooking is more the problem! The goal should be use the lowest amount of a medication to get the max benefit combined with dietary modification, such as avoiding raw versions of the above foods. The weight issue has a lot to do with the processing of food for shelf life stabilization and distribution. It's not an easy situation to solve as cost leads to overprocessed food choices, but in effect, we are starving our bodies of nutrients.

Interesting you have listed just the produce that a sufferer would want to eat and juice the help them cure HT. The thyroid may temporarily cleanse eating/juicing these foods raw but that is the idea if you want to get to the root of the thyroid problem Using them in small doses might be a better way to use them to rid yourself of the toxins slowly so the cleansing does not come on so strong. Cooking vegetables is also part of the problem as it destroys just what your body is looking for. You have to choose a direction, go with drugs for the rest of your life or go with nature as God intended and cure your disease. But choosing has become so difficult because the natural practitioners and their voice have been restricted so strongly in the United States despite freedom of speech and choice. Look around you it is obvious that we are in trouble we are the fattest country in the world now, 70% of us; that is a food problem.
