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 :)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

ahh that makes sense now.. I was wondering wtf are removedtitties. I thought they were talking about a mastectomy or something.

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?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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.

Ahh just discovered ml has a slur filter few mins back

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.
