Answer

Probiotics:
Probiotics are live food supplements used in yoghurt and other fermented milk products. Example: Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum. These bacteria improve the microbial spectrum in the gut and thus contribute to the following effects:
  1. Decrease the risk of colon cancer
  2. Decrease cholesterol absorption
  3. Prevent diarrheal diseases by increasing immunity power.
