Medical researchers are saying that one of the causes of breast cancer may be inflammation triggered by harmful bacteria. The scientists say their idea, as yet unproven  is supported by the available evidence, which is that bacterial-induced inflammation is linked to cancer.


 
The new research published in the journal Medical Hypotheses is by Lancaster University medical student Auday Marwaha, Professor Jim Morris from the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Trust and Dr. Rachael Rigby from Lancaster University’s Faculty of Health and Medicine.
 
The medical researchers say that: “There is a simple, inexpensive potential preventive remedy; which is for women to consume natural yogurt on a daily basis.”
 
Typically, yogurt contains beneficial lactose fermenting bacteria commonly found in milk, similar to the bacteria or microflora  found in the breasts of mothers who have breastfed.
 
Dr. Rachael Rigby from Lancaster University told Thailand Medical News, “We now know that breast milk is not sterile and that lactation alters the microflora of the breast. Lactose fermenting bacteria are commonly found in milk and are likely to occupy the breast ducts of women during lactation and for an unknown period after lactation.”
 
The researchers suggestion is that this lactose fermenting bacteria in the breast is protective because each year of breastfeeding reduces the risk of breast cancer by 4.3%.
 
Many previous studies have shown that the consumption of yogurt is associated with a reduction in the risk of breast cancer, which the researchers suggest may be due to the displacement of harmful bacteria by beneficial bacteria.
 
It has been observed that there are approximately 10 billion bacterial cells in the human body and while most are harmless, some bacteria create toxins that trigger inflammation in the body.
 
Although chronic inflammation destroys the harmful germs, it also damages the body. One of the most common inflammatory conditions is gum disease or periodontitis which has already been linked to oral, oesophageal, colonic, pancreatic, prostatic and breast cancer.
 
The medical researchers conclude that: “The stem cells which divide to replenish the lining of the breast ducts are influenced by the microflora, and certain components of the microflora have been shown in other organs, such as the colon and stomach, to increase the risk of cancer strong> development. Therefore a similar scenario is likely to be occurring in the breast, whereby resident microflora impact on stem cell division and influence cancer risk.”
