Postmenopausal women with a more diverse population of gut bacteria may be more efficient at breaking down estrogen, a new study suggests. Because estrogen plays a role in causing breast cancer, researchers feel a healthy bacterial population may lower the risk for cancer.

This was in a Medscape article!!  Thats exciting! Mainstream medicine is finally waking up to what we Integrative Medicine doctors have been saying – that the gut microbiome is key to good health.

What this says, in simple English, is that healthy gut bacteria help decrease risk of breast cancer.

How do we have healthy gut bacteria? Avoid toxins. Pesticides, xenobiotics from plastic bottles and lunchboxes, processed foods, refined flour, sugar, refined oils. The usual suspects.

Eat sensibly and Stay Healthy1
