A group of British scientists from Lancaster University put forward a hypothesis that the cause of the development of oncological diseases of the mammary glands is related to bacterial inflammation in the milk ducts. Yogurt with lots of lactic acid bacteria can help prevent cancer.
According to one of the experts, Rachel Rigby, it is now known for certain that breast milk is not sterile, and lactation itself leads to changes in the internal microflora of the mammary gland.
"Since lactic acid bacteria are often found in breast milk, most likely, these microorganisms also live in the milk ducts, both during and after breastfeeding," the expert noted.
She also suggested that lactic acid bacteria, found in yogurt and other foods, play a protective role. Studies have shown that with each year of lactation, the risk of breast cancer decreases by four percent annually.
Scientists believe that consumption of yogurt reduces the risk of developing breast cancer due to its content of live lactic acid bacteria, which contribute to improving the composition of the microflora of the milk ducts.
According to Rigby, one yogurt a day is the cheapest and most affordable way to prevent breast cancer.
