How can yogurt consumption help protect against colon cancer?

According to new research, regular consumption of low-sugar yogurt may help protect against aggressive forms of colon cancer. A longitudinal study conducted by Dr. Shuji Ogino from Harvard Medical School, involving 130,000 participants over 30-40 years, found a significant association between yogurt consumption and reduced risk of proximal Bifidobacterium positive colorectal cancer. Unsweetened yogurt varieties appear to be particularly beneficial for maintaining gut health by enhancing gut barrier function. This protective effect highlights the importance of incorporating low-sugar yogurt into dietary choices for potential cancer prevention benefits.
