I don't know. I'm repeating what I've read in journals. I also see an ND (Naturopathic Doctor) as a preventative so I don't have to go to an MD (Medical Doctor). My ND confirmed my findings independently from my asking her anything about it. When we were talking about my nutrition, she offered the information. I don't have any thyroid problems.
ETA: I did say not to make soy the primary protein for the reasons I mentioned. I didn't say not to consume soy at all.

A naturopathic doctor, huh? I don't know very much about naturopathic medicine, though it sounds somewhat similar to integrative medicine, which is what my physician practices.
(I'm lactose intolerent, so I use soy products as dairy substitutes. However, I also have hypothyroidism, so I limit my soy intake somewhat

As for the pronunciation of edamame, I've only heard it pronounced "Ed-uh-maa-may".
