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%27-Diindolylmethane
found in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and kale.
That explains a lot
Oui chef! I also found that its already being sold as a dietary supplement interesting.
There are several cruciferous vegetables I'd like to have as snacks now that I'm dieting but unfortunately as I read about it, too much cruciferous vegetables can cause health issues (bad enough that too much of unhealthy stuff can cause issues, but it turns out even the healthy stuff can cause issues (specifically thyroid related) if you have too much; you just can't win!)
Even a 90% chance of a reduction in cavities and plaque could not get me to eat kale.
Dead bio-volumes in all dosages were not detected, eliminating the possibility of antimicrobial activity elicited by DIM treatment.
From the paper. Interesting it’s NOT an antibiotic but just inhibits biofilm formation. The paper also alludes to an anti-acne application.
This is very cool. Thanks for sharing!
