Consumption of which of the following is not associated with development of diffuse nontoxic goiter?
Ceain dietary substances interfere with thyroid hormone synthesis at some level, these are termed 'goitrogenic'. Vegetables belonging to the Brassicaceae (Cruciferae) family (e.g., cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, turnips, and cassava), has been documented to be goitrogenic. Native populations subsisting on cassava root are paicularly at risk. Cassava contains a thiocyanate that inhibits iodide transpo within the thyroid, worsening any concurrent iodine deficiency. Eggplant/brinjal is not associated with goitrogenesis.
