Abstract in brief

  • Fermented dairy foods, such as yogurt and cheese, are rich in nutrients and probiotics, which might help in preventing and managing cancer.
  • The study analyzed data from 61 studies with nearly 2 million participants and found that consuming fermented dairy foods is associated with a statistically significant reduction in overall cancer risk, especially for bladder, colorectal, and esophageal cancers.
  • Specifically, yogurt intake was linked to a decreased risk of bladder and colorectal cancers, and cheese intake was associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer, suggesting these foods may have protective effects against certain types of cancer.]

Por su parte, los lácteos fermentados reducen el riesgo de cáncer, sobre todo de tumores relacionados con el tubo digestivo. ✅ https://t.co/1L5E1rpQUB

Los productos fermentados como el kéfir, el chucrut, los panes de masa fermentada, el kimchi y la kombucha han suscitado cierto optimismo por su potencial para prevenir diversas enfermedades, como el cáncer. Mucho por estudiar pero interesante. https://t.co/1zPI5Kjlea

@ScepticalDoctor (a) is not exclusive to whole plant foods and (b) is not exclusive to animal foods. Also, fermented dairy is protective against cancer so, similarly, drawing conclusion at "dairy" isn't indicated. https://t.co/z6djbQ6Mpd https://t.co/W23l5gJRYY

@ArtsandCulture @megan_andrew @megkinsey6 This is a good study regarding fermented dairy products. In terms of non fermented products the studies appear to be inconsistent in some cancers they show an increased risk and in others such as colorectal they found a decreased risk due to the calcium. https://t.co/FWHA498vm1
