Yogurt, the New Cancer Fighter?

April 19, 2010 | Filed Under alternative therapy, cancer, research | No Comments

A team of Irish scientists at University College Cork have found that probiotic yogurt could change the battle against breast cancer.

Researchers at the Cork Cancer Research Center say harmless bacteria from probiotic yogurt travels through the body and can grow inside tumors.

Scientists believe that the breakthrough could one day rule out the need for chemotherapy drugs and reduce the toxic effect current cancer therapies have on healthy cells.

Investigators say the "bacteria can leak out from the gut into the blood and grow inside tumors throughout the body where they can produce whatever we want."

According to the scientists the findings are exciting because the main goal of cancer treatment is to focus therapy on tumors without harming healthy cells and future treatment "could be as simple as handing someone a yogurt suspension containing millions of bacterium."
