Preview- It`s apparent that, professor Ian Rowland, (Professor of Human Nutrition (i.e., trophism) at the University of Ulster), is one of the worlds leading experts on diet and cancer prevention, with a particular interest in probiotics. Prevention is in medicine, action taken to decrease the chance of getting a disease or condition. For example, cancer prevention includes avoiding risk factors (such as smoking, obesity (i.e., adiposity, or corpulence), lack of exercise, and radiation (i.e., radiatio) exposure) and increasing protective factors (such as getting regular physical activity, staying at a healthy weight, and having a healthy diet). Nutrition is the taking in and use of food and other nourishing material by the body. Nutrition is a 3-part process (i.e., processus). First, food or drink is consumed. Second, the body breaks down the food or drink into nutrients. Third, the nutrients travel through the bloodstream to different parts of the body where they are used as fuel and for many other purposes. To give the body proper nutrition, a person has to eat and drink enough of the foods that contain key nutrients. Diet is the things a person eats and drinks.
- One can recognize, there is, as yet, no concrete evidence for probiotics in prevention of cancer - but there are some encouraging results for specific probiotic strains particularly for Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium. Lactobacillus is a type of bacterium that makes lactic acid (a substance that is made from sugars found in milk (i.e., strip, or lac) and is also made in the body). Lactobacilli usually do not cause disease, but may cause tooth (i.e., dens) decay (i.e., putrefaction). They are normally found in the mouth (i.e., oral cavity, or ostium), gastrointestinal tract (i.e., tractus), and vagina (i.e., sheath). Gastrointestinal, refers to the stomach (i.e., gaster, or ventriculus) and intestines. Also called GI. They are being studied in the prevention of infections in patients having donor stem cell transplants and in other conditions.
- It would seem to be apparant that, different strains may act at different stages before or during cancer development and the extent of any protection (i.e., protective block) may vary according to the probiotic (Commane et (and) al 2005).
