First, do not panic.
Second, take home number:
Do not take more than 24 mg/kg/day
1 kilogram = 2.2046226 pounds
1 pound = 0.45359 kilogram
DIM---24 mg/kg/day

Our next step was to take a more global approach by using microarray analysis to examine the expression of several thousand genes in the liver simultaneously after exposure to I3C rather than looking at only a few protein markers. We analyzed gene expression in trout livers after dietary exposure to I3C and DIM (24 and 78 mg/kg/day) and compared the gene expression profile to those of two known liver tumor promoters, 17β-estradiol (endogenous estrogen hormone) and β-naphthoflavone (a known inducer of CYP1A). We found that both I3C and DIM have very similar gene profiles to estradiol, suggesting that they act like estrogens in trout liver and likely promote liver cancer by this mechanism. Interestingly, DIM was a stronger estrogen than I3C. This data led us to question whether DIM would also promote liver cancer in trout similar to estradiol and I3C. Only a few studies have examined the effects of DIM on cancer development in animals, and none have examined the potential for DIM to promote cancer.

We performed a tumor study in trout to examine the effects of DIM on cancer development compared to 17β-estradiol. Feeding the trout either DIM (24 mg/kg/day) or estradiol in the diet long-term following acute exposure to a liver carcinogen resulted in more tumors compared to control animals. Concentrations of DIM lower than 24 mg/kg/day did not significantly increase the number of tumors. We confirmed that DIM was promoting cancer by acting like an estrogen by comparing gene expression in the liver samples over the course of cancer development. At all timepoints examined, gene expression in liver samples from DIM and estradiol-treated animals were very similar, indicating they are working by the same mechanism.
