Two servings of yoghurt per day can reduce the risk of developing bladder cancer by up to 40% according to new research.
Researchers in Sweden have shown how cultured milk products such as yoghurt can reduce the risk of cancer in men by 36% and in women by 45% says Urbod Nutritionist, Amanda Atkins. Yoghurt contains bacteria called lactic acid which is believed to be the protective compound. A healthy gut flora is the cornerstone to health says Amanda: fermented foods such as yoghurt, miso, tempeh or sauerkraut contain many strains of beneficial bacteria that are vitally important for immunity and general gut health.
