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.

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.

Wait, we don't all partake in resnacking?

You're gonna have to beef these jokes up a notch though

Oh, so you want to raise the steaks?

[–] Killing_Spark@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

I want to raise them until somebody tells me: well done

Looks like cows were onto something with the whole swallow and then rechew mechanic.

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

[–] flumph@programming.dev 4 points 2 years 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)

Even a 90% chance of a reduction in cavities and plaque could not get me to eat kale.
