Could yogurt help protect against colorectal cancer?
A recent study suggests that consuming live yogurt may help reduce the risk of certain forms of colorectal cancer. Researchers found that people who ate two or more servings of yogurt per week had a 20% lower rate of developing Bifidobacterium-positive colorectal tumors, which are linked to improved gut health. While the study didn’t establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship, it highlights the potential of yogurt’s probiotics, especially Bifidobacterium, in supporting gut health and possibly reducing cancer risk. The findings support the idea that incorporating live yogurt into your diet, along with other probiotic-rich foods, may offer additional health benefits, including cancer protection.
