Eating two pots of
yogurt a day can dramatically reduce the chance
of developing bladder cancer, research
suggests.People who ate it saw their risk of suffering from the disease drop by 40 per cent compared to those who rarely touched yogurt.
Researchers believe bacteria in yogurt gives the protection.
They looked at the diets of more than 80,000 volunteers over nine years and found that the 500 who developed bladder cancer were likely not to have eaten much yogurt.
The scientists said that having about two average-sized tubs of yogurt a day reduced the risk by 45 per cent in women and 36 per cent in men.

SINC SAYS:
My wife encouraged me to eat yogurt daily. It took a long time to cultivate a taste for it, but now I have one every day. I guess that means my risk is only reduced by 18%?
