With very rare exceptions, medical studies base their findings by using more than one subject. The reason is that people differ greatly, and what is of interest are the overall odds. "My grandfather smoked two packs of cigarettes a day and lived to be 87" does not in fact prove that smoking cigarettes is perfectly safe. That said, I agree that the video is alarmist, and he fails to mention that we commonly eat goitrogenic foods (such as soybeans, flaxseed, and broccoli). All that is required is to take care that you diet includes sufficient iodine. Eating two sheets of nori a day will prove plenty.

If your diet is too much of anything, it is not healthy. A balanced diet is the best diet. Millet is actually easy on digestion, wheat is pretty harsh on our digestion process.

[@ukveganjack1566]

I don't think the problem is so much the consumption of goitrogens (found in plant-foods such as cruciferous vegetables); the problem is not consuming enough iodine in one's diet. In the cooking process of such veggies (e.g. broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, kale etc.) you render the goitrogenic compounds inactive; so, if you eat a diet high in uncooked cruciferous veggies combined with marginal iodine intake... then, you're gonna fuck up your thyroid. I find the easiest way to ensure you're getting enough iodine, is to add a liquid iodine supplement to your daily beverage of choice, or consistently add a type of seaweed to your diet such as nori sheets, or dulse flakes. Kelp has the problem of being too high in iodine - so wouldn't use that personally.

Skipped a few days of millet, everything went back to normal. Thought I could just go back to eating it. Tooth inflamed right then and there. That was culprit!

The Sudanese millet situation involved pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) specifically - not any other forms of millet. ajcn.nutrition.org/content/71/1/59.full Millet is a catch-all term for a number of completely unrelated species. Eleusine coracana (finger millet) - the fourth-most cultivated millet, Panicum miliaceum (Proso millet) - the third-most cultivated millet, Pennisetum glaucum (Pearl millet) - the most cultivated millet, and Setaria italica (Foxtail millet) - the second-most cultivated millet are the most commonly used millets. Only one of these is the kind that produced the problem in Sudan. Technically sorghum is a type of millet, so if you count sorghum as millet, it might be the most cultivated form of millet. As far as I know, there are no thyroid issues with sorghum. However, I don't know if ingredient lists specify the type of millet, so it's a gamble. It could be pearl millet.

Out of my approximate 1,500 calorie per day diet, it's 5%. And i don't have it every day. I just got into it actually. I found my notes the other day about thyroid (had an underactive thyroid once upon a time in college) and to my surprise, millet was on the list of what to avoid. I think for overactive though. I'm not sure. Nonetheless, kale was on that list too, and so were pine nuts. And i love kale! It's my favorite food along with raspberries. When i started eating more of it, and more food in general, my thyroid fixed itself. So idk why they were on the "avoid" list. Maybe it's because anything I eat is alreadg in moderation by principle. I don't eat much especially for how active I am, but what i do eat is a low-carb diet (not to lose weight or anything-- I reached a normal weight 3 years ago and i ain't turning back), but because there are so many refined carbs out there and carbs that are just plain bad for you. I get the carbs i need through plenty of fruits, veggies, legumes, the occasional glass of almond milk, etc. And now some occasional millet and wheat ever since i saw it in the store and it looked good-- it reminded me of the cereal i had once in a while as a kid, Honey Smacks, with the frog on the front.

[@peggyhall5363]

Chris Masterjohn, PhD, good Saturday. You avoid millet completely. Most people eat more high gluten & lectin, sugar, GMO; "S.A.D.", type foods, than millet. If millet is all the people you refer to had, then your point is pointless. Those people have no choice. Perhaps listening to Dr. Gundry and lectins; researchers like Sebi about mucus and Hulda Clark about bacteria. Dr. David Glidden; Dr. Eric Berg; B. N. and T. R.; or the big blue book encyclopedia would broaden the view. A person with issues with gout, or gluten intolerance, parasites, allergies or healing from so many others, must limit mostly everything in large amounts of certain foods, some none at all: sugar or delicious milk chocolate etc.. There are free foods to consume in large amounts daily. While other foods are limited to planning, if and when to comsume. We that are healing fight to eat and still enjoy life's bits of fun with foods, that are considered safe, so not to compromise our progress. It is not an easy road. The road map for us is trial and error, with risk of pain at the wrong choice, if not our life or a set back of progress. It is true the more foods we restricted, the less a person has to eat. Your video info does this by limited info. Look at our list in do not eat to heal and be well. Then some one gives us an opportunity to eat something in limited amounts of once a wk. or a month or just a special celebration times. Then some one else comes with, woe to you, if you eat it. Then the shadow of, wow, I already have this & those on my page. Information like in my previous comment about spinach along with so many others in research, reports and ducumented proof this does that & that or does this & this. We in a fight are surrounded by the voices and in them all comes a voice of look, if you do this you can still enjoy this on a moderate amount, still avoiding those other foods. Then you state your points, which have a basis of information dealing with people in a situation in that area. In an area where people with less or limited money, consumed this amount of millet; while people with more money ate less millet & other foods. You see the people with less chose with limited choice. Maybe if they knew this information & had options to eat for a wk at the same cost, perhaps their choice would be different. To them perhaps millet is their only choice: bread, cereal, pancakes, a cake, tart, muffins, whatever.The alternative meant same old same old for the wk. Did they have the opportunity to make a choice? I thank you, that you informed us of thyroid compromise, could or would(?) happen from millet at all or over load? Yet, from the list of thyroid compromising foods it is, but one. The foods you listed as alternatives either do the same or cause havoc in some other organ or place in the body. Choose wisely when the info is presented and give all info on any info presented. The point was limit millet or do not consume. You avoid millet completely, yet would choose foods with high lectins and gluten plus GMO over limited amounts a millet, which is less of these? We that choose to eat for wellness take your info under advisement and thank you. We are winning as we reason what to do. Our choices though limited somewhat compared to all maybe few. Our imaginations planning the limited score of those with this, 'n' that a rare & satisfying personal menu. To thine own self & others be true. If helping is intended, do all you can do. Words can inform or make a person's day feel blue. We strive to survive and persevere through. I am no doctor, just me. I ask for myself & others, think of us daily. The words can mean the difference between limited or a horn full of plenty. A table laden with limited can still have variety.

Millets is very beneficial for our health but only if we consume it right way

[@bensonnlp]

That mean Birds organ are stronger than Human Being.:)

[@shelleymitchell7912]

millet is a seed mr phd

[@sharamighandi5740]

Maybe the goiter came from the salt they consumed, that has no iodine. I used to live in North Africa and a whole population in one particular village had an epidemic of goiters because they were consuming salt that was extracted from a mountain close to the village- the salt didn’t have iodine. In your presentation, you didn’t say why millet was causing goiter!!! What’s happening physiologically! I am not convinced at all!

[@chrismasterjohn]

On my substack I have a report that goes into detail but it’s for members. Not having iodine in salt doesn’t cause goiter. Adding iodine to salt is a way to prevent goiter. Salt does not naturally have significant iodine.

[@ibrahimjunaid8317]

Where to go then, is depressing

[@dk2356]

Please don't spread false info...why can't you provide actual info.. that's wrong...

[@premier69]

so, let's say one meal a week is, fine?

[@mreudeco]

Agreed it’s dangerous

[@guitarlearningtoplay]

“Not anything” true genius here! hahah Never heard of SPROUTING? You can make Manna and eat Millet sprouts raw!no cooking!

[@monaasmr2936]

Ok

[@thestuffedvegan9471]

Great info. and video, thanks!

[@joeborisson4609]

You sound crazy

[@DiDie43]

Lmao

[@Dragon34th]

I didn't know it has a link to goitre. In the Republic of Central Africa or the CAR's northern villages, my parents native homeland, the consumption of millet, millet wine, bread, porridge has always been high but goitre was rare. I saw that goitre was associated with the poorest people in fact no-one in my entire and distant family in the villages had goitre yet they live off millets. And I'm talking about a region very close to Sudan. What do you think about India's FSSAI Authority promotting Millet consumption in this video? Surely if Indians hear about the goitre link, they're going to pannick :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXO0epipj7uqask

[@JavaughnJPorter]

Obviously paid wheat companies

[@vinnettepope8255]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful teaching information on millet🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@trem876]

sorghum is millet...

[@hermes8258]

Thanks, very useful info. But... Details, shmeedetails. Two thirds way through video and I don't know how frequent or how much is too much. OK, at the end you get to the point - maximum 10% of diet, notice not 10% of *grains* eaten, just of all foods eaten (vegetables, seeds, dairy, etc) making it even less recommended. But, if I eat 15 meals per week, this means that 0.75 to 1.50 meals per week that are entirely made of of millet would be safe. And since I would never eat an entire meal of just millet, but perhaps 1/4 to 1/2 of the meal, this leaves 1.50 to 3.0 meals per week. Sounds like twice per week is no big deal, for me anyway. I am not living on a pittance in Khartoum. I eat salad, soup, beans etc. And yes, millet I will read any links you provided to see what millets were tested (barnyard millet, foxtail millet?) and in what form, and also which studies were done on humans rather than animals and the robustness of the studies.

[@yangkeesherpa6971]

Lets put your thoughts under a different topic of nutrition efficiency and remove the millet completely out of it. At this point your post has come into a completely wrong prospective. First you have to see laboratory tested elements of millet. In a 100 gram serving, raw millet provides 378 calories and is a rich source (20% or more of the Daily Value, DV) of protein, dietary fiber, several B vitamins and numerous dietary minerals, especially manganese at 76% DV (USDA nutrient table). Raw millet is 9% water, 73% carbohydrates, 4% fat and 11% protein (table).

[@UnrealObserver]

Thanks so much! Very very useful video.... especially reviewing the ingredients for all the "wonderful" gluten-free baked goods... I have just been reminded about my gluten sensitivity after eating tortillas made from organic whole wheat and organic corn... some joint pain that goes away when the gluten goes away I am eating 5oz of organic brown rice per day... any problems that are universal (like the millet results?) Thanks for your help and keep up the good work!

[@chrismasterjohn]

No goitrogens. Some people are concerned about arsenic in brown rice but I'd need to research that more carefully before making a conclusion.

[@MsViva710]

@@chrismasterjohn this is amazing. When I was VERY ill malaria. I felt so weak and like I was made of straw. Till the day I ate millet. In about 20 minutes or less I felt like me again . I gave some to a cancer patient and she b e lives it saved her life.

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

I guess if your intake of Russell Sprouts was 1/3 to 2/3 of your diet then you'd have a thyroid issue too. Sounding an alarm against a beneficial "grain" like this is... alarmist, at best. Everybody should take an iodine supplement once or twice a week anyway to guard against thyroid insufficiency but freaking out over an occasional bowel of millet is ridiculous. Celiac disease is a much more serious problem in our gluten rich economy.

[@ngufanikojo6430]

You are saying that if i do not eat wheat, im hurting my thyroid, and if i eat other grains, im hurting my thyroid, so i should only eat wheat, no matter how i react to it. All based on a 'study' done in sudan in the 80s. Guy, you are lying.

[@chrismasterjohn]

Or, you are not listening carefully.

[@milou753]

i dont trust you, you have lost your hair and trying to tell me about hormons??? sorry you failed

[@nautilusmd]

You should make this video in Sudanies language where people consume it as a main food

[@MH-up1xe]

If you only eat millet maybe lol eat a varied diet.

[@mel90able]

looks like you have goitar.

[@mikimiki6202]

Lol

[@TheIaluma]

All most anything we eat is not good for you. Don't eat whole grains, don't bread. Maybe I would just stay and just starve to death. What is there that is good to eat without a video warning you not to eat this and that?

[@videomedicine-behealthy200]

most birds in my town be dead by now... it eats millet everyday!!!

[@minisreenivasan1399]

Don't say stories like this village, that village, this school, etc...do u have links to prove your words otherwise you are doing a crime to humanity.

[@hiddysonday435]

The glycemic index (GI) of millet equals to 70.0, which classifies it as a high GI food. The glycemic load (GL) of millet is equal to 51.1, which classifies it as a high GL food.
