Cases of thyroid ca.n:cer are increasing rapidly. Doctors advise you to eat less of these foods

These are foods that people with thyroid tumors should limit eating every day.

What causes thyroid ca:nc:er?

Experts are not sure why some cells become ca:ncerous (malignant) and attack your thyroid. Some factors, such as radiation exposure, a diet low in iodine and faulty genes can increase the risk.

Other risk factors include:

– Enlarged thyroid (goiter).
– Family history of thyroid disease or thyroid cancer.
– Thyroiditis (inflammation of your thyroid gland).
– Gene mutations (changes) that cause endocrine diseases, such as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A) or type 2B (MEN2B) syndrome.
– Low iodine intake.
– Obesity (high body mass index).
– Radiation therapy for head and neck cancer, especially during childhood.
– Exposure to radioactive fallout from nuclear weapons or a power plant acc-ident.
