Eating yoghurt may lower risk of aggressive bowel cancer, study suggests.
A UK oncologist, Professor Justin Stebbing, suggests daily yoghurt consumption may lower the risk of aggressive right-sided bowel cancer, citing research of over 150,000 people showing that two or more weekly servings correlate with reduced risk.
He attributes potential benefits to live cultures like lactobacillus and streptococcus in yoghurt, which may support a healthy gut microbiome and reduce inflammation.
Higher levels of beneficial Bifidobacterium were found in tumor tissue of frequent yoghurt eaters.
While the findings highlight yoghurt’s possible protective role, experts stress that overall lifestyle—including diet, exercise, and limiting processed meats—remains critical in preventing bowel cancer, with up to 54% of cases potentially avoidable through healthier habits.
