“…In line with the findings of Elnour et al (25), Abdel Gadir and Adam (26) reported that pearl millet incorporated in the diet at 1 g/ kg/day caused goiter in male goat kids in Nubian region of Egypt and incorporating potassium iodate at 50 parts per million (ppm) did not protect animals against pearl millet goitrogens. In another animal study in Nigeria (27), hyperplasia in the thyroid gland was reported in rats fed a 100% pearl millet diet, while the thyroid glands of rats on 60 and 30% pearl millet diets were less affected.…”

“…Table 1 provides a description, without any order of preference, of the studies included in this systematic review. Six studies ( 22–24 , 26–28 ) had an experimental design (four in vivo studies, one in vitro study and one that used both in vivo and in vitro methods); two were cross-sectional ( 20 , 25 ); and one ( 21 ) used a mixed approach (combining cross-section survey and experimental analysis). All of them considered the impact of millets on thyroid function.…”

“…All of them considered the impact of millets on thyroid function. Six studies (20)(21)(22)(24)(25)(26) were conducted in Sudan, one (27) in Nigeria, one experimental study (23) from Senegal studied pearl millet, and one from Guinea used fonio millet (28). Eight studies (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27) were conducted on pearl millet and only one (28) on fonio millet.…”

Millets (defined here to also include sorghum) have been consumed in Asian and African countries for centuries, and have in recent years become increasingly popular in Western countries, especially because of their proven health and environmental benefits. Nevertheless, some concerns have been raised that their consumption can interfere with thyroid function and cause goiter. This systematic review aimed to investigate the link between millet consumption and goiter. We found nine papers that were relevant to this topic and included them in this review. Among nine papers eight were on pearl millet and one was on fonio millet. The findings of the review indicate that published literature on the association of pearl millet and increased goiter prevalence are not compelling and strong enough to assert that pearl millet consumed as part of a balanced diet can lead to goiter in the general population. To ensure appropriate factual messaging about millets, we need more scientific research to conclusively state whether millet consumption mediates goitrogenic effects.

A normal thyroid gland is difficult to distinguish from the surrounding tissues. Its enlargement, referred to as goiter, is most often found in newborn kids, less often in adult animals. Feeding errors, such as incorrect iodine content in the ration or the presence of goitrogens, may contribute to its formation. The occurrence of goiter may also have a genetic basis. Mutation within the TG gene leads to abnormal synthesis of thyroglobulin – a protein essential in the synthesis and storage of thyroid hormones. In Poland, the most common problem is congenital goitre, with a genetic background, caused by an increase in inbreeding in the herd.
