A new study published on February 12 says that a yogurt dish could make more than just give a delicious breakfast or a snack – that could prevent colon cancer.
In the study, published in the journal Gut Biomes, doctors and scientists from the mass General Brigham examined two studies of more than 150,000 people who have been part of the group for at least 30 years.
“We have assumed that in the long run yogurt intake It could be associated with the incidence of colorectal cancer differently from the subset of the tumor in accordance with the amount of tissue bifidobacteria, “the study said.
