4a-OH estrone and 16a-OH estrone are carcinogenic, dim helps shift these dangerous metabolites out of the system. Increase estrogen metabolism, this is a preventive step. The longer estrogens hang around increases the likelihood of future problems.

As he said above, and also in the diagram, the weaker links represents the suppression of the bad estrogens. DiM also helps flush the abundance of un used Estrogens to prevent them from switching on cancer cells.

Thanks iaboy, Alexis and all, here's a simplified version of what DIM dues, I mean does.

Both men and women produce estrogen. Estrogens perform beneficial activities in the human body for both sexes; however, how the body metabolizes (breaks down) estrogen is significant for continued good health.

DIM (diindolylmethane) is a natural organic compound that promotes healthy estrogen metabolism in men and women as well as increasing the body’s natural ability to burn fat. DIM is a phytochemical naturally found in small amounts in cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli and that has subsequently been synthesized into a convenient, easy-to-swallow pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplement.

Supplementation of DIM promotes the effective metabolism of estrogen by helping the body turn estradiol into helpful metabolites. These helpful metabolites can aid the body in resisting uncontrolled cell growth and the formation of tumors, effect bone health, and promote weight loss by encouraging healthy levels of the hormones that activate enzymes to stimulate lipolysis—the release of stored fat. Properly balanced estrogen levels are instrumental in general hormonal health and well-being.

Dim is a strong inhibitor of DHT and prostate cancer.
