According to a recent study, dairy products increase the body's defense against the development of intestinal cancer. Other simple, inexpensive foods also contribute to this – experts consider it necessary to add them to the diet to protect the intestines from diseases.

Intestinal cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, affects the body's digestive system, especially organs such as the colon intestine and rectum. Scientific experts have established that the consumption of dairy products can significantly reduce the risk of this disease.

The data obtained by scientists was published by Gut magazine. The researchers examined relevant published systematic reviews and meta-analyses of observational clinical trials evaluating the effects of dietary and drug factors on bowel cancer risk. Thus, they found that the use of dairy products is associated with a 13-19 percent reduction in the risk of colon cancer.
