When it comes to your thyroid, polyunsaturated fats have a direct effect on blocking your thyroid and decreasing your metabolism on multiple levels.
For starters, these fats block the enzymes that signal your thyroid gland to release its hormones. This limits the amount of thyroid hormone available to your body.
When these fats enter your bloodstream, they also block the active thyroid hormone within your bloodstream from being transported to the cells that desperately need it.
Lastly, they block your cells from properly responding to the thyroid hormone that they do get which makes the hormone much less effective to your cells.
