Yogurt against heavy metal poisoning

As part of a study conducted on women and children particularly exposed to environmental pollution, the researchers of the "Canadian Center for Human Microbiome and Parobiotics" together with the "National Institute for Medical Research" Mwanza (Tanzania), have demonstrated that yogurt containing Lactobacillus Rhamnosus helps the body protect itself from damage of environmental pollution. According to experts, the molecules of these good bacteria bind readily to metals, favoring their elimination.

The research took place in the communities located in the vicinity of Lake Victoria in Mwanza, an area heavily polluted by heavy metals and pesticides. After distributing yogurt to young girls and women, results demonstrated the decreased levels of intoxication for the patients at risk.
