Frequent consumption of fermented milk products leads to a significant reduction in the risk of bladder cancer. Such conclusions were reached by Swedish scientists as a result of a long-term study spanning tens of thousands of participants, according to an Internet publication for girls and women aged 14 to 35 Pannochka. net Employees of the Stockholm Karolinska Institute for 9 years watched the health of 82 thousand healthy men and women. Participants in the study regularly provided information on the frequency of consumption of various foods, including milk and dairy products.

By the end of the study, bladder cancer was detected in 485 participants, including 76 women and 409 men.

In assessing the information collected, scientists failed to find a significant relationship between the frequency of consumption of dairy products in general and the risk of developing cancer. At the same time, the number of cases was significantly lower in the subgroup of people who preferred yoghurts and other fermented milk products.

So, for people who consumed at least two servings of dairy products a day, the risk of developing bladder cancer was 38 percent less than for those who did not eat foods with fermented milk. For women in the first group, the risk reduction was 45 percent, for men - 36 percent.
