I searched the medical journals and researched this a bit because I had not heard that it could ’cause’ hypothyroidism. The evidence revealed that the substance in conciferous vegetables known as goitrogens is an antithyroid substance. However I could only find one study that showed it actually caused hypothryoid and that was in animals, and another that showed severe hypothyroidism from consumption of over 1kg day of raw bokchoy per day over several months. People in some countries with excessive intake, combined with low iodine experience a condition known as goitre, an enlargement of the thyoid gland and bulging of the neck. Most other studies only point to the great benefits of cruciferous vegetables in helping to reduce inflammation and help disease. One other article suggested that the cooking process reduces alot of the goitrogenic potential so in my opinion I’d say eating them daily is fine because that is certainly not overconsumption. Hope that helps
