Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Everyone has a thyroid.
Thyroid is a gland.
The problem with it could be hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
So thyroid is not a problem.
Coming to thyroid ailments, yes you can share foods.
Its not a disorder which spreads. You have to inherit it for the most part to suffer from it.
Its not contagious in any sense.
Best regards.
Dr. Anil kumar jain.
