Description
Mingkuan Chen and co-authors explore in 2026 whether eating more anthocyanidins, the pigments in berries and purple vegetables, relates to thyroid autoimmunity. These compounds are known to calm immune activity in lab work, yet population evidence on thyroid disease was missing. The cross-sectional analysis used United States NHANES data from 2007 to 2010, covering 5,487 adults with diet records and thyroid antibody results.
Contrary to a protective guess, people with thyroid autoimmunity reported higher pigment intake than controls in this dataset. Each unit rise in log-transformed intake matched 16 percent higher odds of autoimmunity, and the top quarter of intake sat 47 percent above the bottom quarter. The dose pattern looked straight rather than curved. The authors call for prospective studies to test the link.
