I was curious about which compound and where it occurs, the article didn’t contain the latter. This is the compound’s Wikipedia article which provides that info: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/3,3’-Diindolylmethane

found in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and kale.
That explains a lot

Brb about to empty the shelves of broccoli. Both pre chopped AND whole

The molecule is formed during the digestion of broccoli, so unless you’re gonna put your digested broccoli back into your mouth it probably won’t have the desired effect.

So it seems that during the digestion in stomach acid the enzyme myrosinase is released from these plants (https://www.diindolylmethane-dim.com/formation.htm) responsible for the intermediate product DIM.
This means we could have DIM present in acidic meals of these vegetables, like for example Kimchi

Oui chef! I also found that its already being sold as a dietary supplement interesting.

Even a 90% chance of a reduction in cavities and plaque could not get me to eat kale.
- FlumPHP ( @flumph@programming.dev ) 2•1 year ago
If I’m reading this right, it’s a digested form of something else in those vegetables. So adding broccoli to toothpaste isn’t going to cut it. (Although I’m sure some brand on IG is already manufacturing that)

Diindolylmethane might act like estrogen in the body, or might also block estrogen effects. So more research is necessary.

I will sacrifice myself and get titties as long as I have good teeth!
edit who am I kidding, I already have removedtiddies

You ran right into the slur filter of lemmy.ml :)
- Jay ( @Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca ) English6•1 year ago
ahh that makes sense now… I was wondering wtf are removedtitties. I thought they were talking about a mastectomy or something.
- Turun ( @Turun@feddit.de ) 3•1 year ago
I don’t get what it’s supposed to be. Can you spell it out for me with a between every letter or something to defeat the filter?
- Vlyn ( @Vlyn@lemmy.zip ) English5•1 year ago
I’m not the guy who wrote it, but if I had to guess he probably meant bi.tchtiddies?
The slur filter on lemmy.ml is weird, that’s why I changed instances.
- Turun ( @Turun@feddit.de ) 1•1 year ago
My first instinct was mantiddies, it makes sense with the “I’d grow a pair if it means healthier teeth”. But it would be an absurd word to filter.
- Maldreamer141 ( @Maldreamer@lemmy.ml ) English3•1 year ago
Ahh just discovered ml has a slur filter few mins back
- Twipped ( @Twipped@artemis.camp ) 7•1 year ago
DIM doesn’t increase estrogen, it reduces it. It forces the body to metabolize estradiol into 2-hydroxyestrone, which cannot be converted back to estradiol and has lower binding affinity, so it just gets pissed out. It’s often used for breast and thyroid cancer treatments.
So yeah, this could be really bad for women.

Mmmkay, but what about tooth decay, mmkay?
- Umbrias ( @Umbrias@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year ago
Not much to do about a decayed tooth short of stem cells so not sure why you’re asking about repair for something that’s entirely preventative

Is this the most intellectually dishonest thing you were able to come up with on short notice?
- Umbrias ( @Umbrias@beehaw.org ) 2•1 year ago
No. That’s… Not what intellectual dishonesty is.
- emptiestplace ( @emptiestplace@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 year ago
So you actually believe that was a reasonable question?
- Umbrias ( @Umbrias@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year ago
Why isn’t it?

It’s like asking someone why they care about advances in other types of remedial care like bypass surgery or whatever.
