Answer to Question 1

2, 4

Rationale: Cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cale, broccoli, and other brassica family vegetables contain goitrogens. Ingestion of goitrogens can lead to a decrease in the function of the thyroid gland. Tree nuts, tomatoes, and green peppers are not classified as brassica family vegetables and are not associated with hypothyroidism.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The UL is the highest level of average daily nutrient intake that is likely to pose no risk of adverse health effects to almost all individuals in the general population.
