Research finds positive effects of supplements on more than 90 percent of people a diet rich in probiotics and vegetables may help prevent slow-growing prostate cancer.
In the study, the researchers wanted to find a link between the stomach and the prostate. Which is why they focused on whether increasing the intake of ‘phytochemical-rich’ foods (leafy vegetables and berries) and ‘Lactobacillus probiotics’ (beneficial bacteria in the stomach) would affect prostate cancer.
The study results showed that more than 90 percent of men who took the supplements made from broccoli, turmeric, pomegranate, green tea, ginger and cranberries and a specially designed probiotic had either a reduction or a halt in their disease.
The study’s lead author, Professor Robert Thomas, said that for the first time, it has been shown that the balance of bacteria in the gut can slow the growth of prostate cancer.
