DIM studies?
Deb,
I have not looked at these in detail, but if you google
diindolylmethane and breast cancer you'll get some hits.
http://carcin.oxfordjournals.org/cgi...tract/26/4/771
check out the footnotes on that article with several references to what appears to be scientific studies.
and
http://diindolylmethane.redtoenail.org/ NOT a study itself but has references to studies below also.
Ruth takes it as a recommendation from a naturalpath we trustI can't help much with the science. It appears to help the liver process out the estrogen?
