Hello ma'am, thank you for your question! My research was not successful, I did not find an association between seaweed consumption and the prevalence of cysts or anything else. I did find that disturbances in thyroid function might contribute to the development of nodules or the like in the breast. I have not found this with Synthroid. Hopefully I have been helpful, please feel free if you have any other questions Tom Samaha, pharmacist It would be my pleasure!
