I was curious about which compound and where it occurs, the article didn't contain the latter. This is the compound's Wikipedia article which provides that info: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/3,3%27-Diindolylmethane
That explains a lot
Oui chef! I also found that its already being sold as a dietary supplement interesting.
Kale or the molecule?
The molecule.
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.
