Scientists have found that eating yogurt every day could cut the risk of developing bladder cancer by up to 40 percent. The research showed that those who ate two servings a day were significantly less likely to go on to have the disease than those who ate yogurt only occasionally or not at all.
No benefit was found from regularly eating other dairy products, the study found. The scientists behind the research believe that bacteria in yogurt could help to fight disease.
The study, by researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, followed 80,000 patients over nine years.
Asked about their diet, those who went on to develop bladder cancer were less likely to have eaten yogurt regularly than those who remained cancer free, the scientists said.
According to the findings, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a couple of yogurts a day reduced the risk of developing the disease in women by 45 per cent and in men by 36 per cent.
“Cultured milk products, such as yogurt, contain lactic acid bacteria, which have been shown to suppress bladder cancer in rats,” according to the report.
“Our research suggests a high intake (of yogurt in humans) may reduce the risk.”
People who eat yogurt regularly could also be more health conscious generally and likely to look after their body better than others.
