Invisible
helpers: How probiotic bacteria protect against inflammatory bowel diseases
Another health benefit of yogurt has
been discovered.Yoghurt has been valued for centuries for its
health-promoting effects. These effects are thought to be mediated by the
lactic acid bacteria typically contained in yoghurt. Evidence from recent
scientific studies show that some bacterial strains actually have a probiotic
effect and can thus prevent disease. A team of biologists and nutrition
scientists working with Prof. Dirk Haller from the Technische Universitaet
Muenchen (TUM) has now discovered the mechanisms at work behind this protective
effect (Cell Host & Microbe).
