Just thought I'd share some news from UC Berkeley: Diindolylmethane (DIM) from broccoli has clinically been shown to promote the 2-hydroxylation of estrogen, an activity regarded by many physicians as lowering the risk of cancer. It also has been shown to potently modulate the immune system in addition to promoting apoptosis and inhibiting inflammation. Broccoli is more nutritious than previously thought and possibly therapeutic when it comes to breast cancer.

For instance, what chromosome(s) are these genes located? What issue is this research from? I would love to get a copy of this research finding as I love the subject of human genetics and this research finding will have implications for my future career as a genetic counselor. Thanks!
