Is tea bad for thyroid?
There are different types of thyroid disorders ranging from hypo or hyperthyroidism to thyroid cancer, each needing different diet restrictions. On a general note, research has shown that green tea and black tea (Green > black) both have goitrogenic and antithyroidal properties. On the other hand, few studies have shown that tea can reduce risk of thyroid cancer. More detailed studies are needed in this area. Hence, it is best to avoid tea or take it in moderation along with regular check on thyroid tests.

I've been feeling a bit off lately and a friend mentioned it might be a vitamin D deficiency. Is there a specific test I can take to check for this? And what should the ideal levels be if I'm looking at the results?
Yes, a simple blood test, specifically the 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) test, can diagnose vitamin D deficiency; the ideal level is generally considered to be between 30-50 ngmL, with levels below 20 ngmL indicating deficiency, 21-29 ngmL indicating insufficiency, and above 50 ngmL potentially indicating toxicity
