British scientists from Lancaster University have put forward a new hypothesis that can dramatically change the approach to the prevention of breast cancer. According to them, bacterial inflammation in the milk ducts may be the cause of oncology, and the key to reducing the risk of disease is the use of yogurt rich in lactic acid bacteria.
According to the leading researcher Rachel Rigby, modern studies prove that: breast milk is not sterile, lactation changes the internal microflora of the breast, lactic acid bacteria found in breast milk, can be permanent inhabitants of milk ducts even after breastfeeding. The scientist suggests that these bacteria can have a protective effect, holding back the development of unwanted inflammation that potentially provoke cancer. According to research, the risk of breast cancer decreases by 4% for each year of breastfeeding. A similar effect, according to scientists, can give regular use of yoghurts that contain living lactic acid bacteria that improve the microbioma of the body - including milk ducts.
Researchers emphasize that it is about natural yoghurts with living bacteria, not dessert variants with sugar and flavors.
