YAKULT
and L. casei strain Shirota (found in Yakult
beverages) has proven to reduce the risk
of cancer by ridding the body of harmful
mutagens and other actions. Reductions
in the risk of bladder, colon and breast
cancer have also been verified. A study in
2013 showed that Japanese women who
consumed probiotics and soya products on
a regular basis had the lowest incidence of
obtaining breast cancer. The same study
also proved that daily consumption of
L. casei strain Shirota since adolescence had
a significant inverse association with early
breast cancer occurrence.
“It goes without saying that good health
is the greatest source of happiness. Science
can achieve no greater victory than to enable
a living being to live its full span of years
while maintaining the vitality of youth,” said
late Dr. Minoru Shirota. Yakult is putting his
philosophies into actions as they continue
to provide consumers products that can be
trusted. The next time you pick up your
favourite Yakult beverage, pause to think about
the efforts being placed into each and every
bottle of fermented milk drink. Who knows,
you might be the next one discovering a new
strain of healthy bacteria! ß
