indole 3 carbinol (I3C)
Indole 3 carbinol is comprised of the cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, etc) and is supposed to block the pathways that can cause breast cancer. My naturopath has me on it; 200mg twice a day. I3C does not cause breast cancer.
As for dairy, unless one is a calf we don't need milk. That's a huge falacy promoted by the Milk Industry. Broccoli has lots of calcium, so do many other veggies. Check it out.
I still can't find any info here about anyone taking the I3C.
