There are many people talking about probiotics these days. Some people say they can cure anything, while others have their doubts - and rightly so. In general, there are very specific conditions (eg IBS, lactose intolerance, Bloating, Traveler's diarrhea) that have evidence backing these claims. It is important to be careful in choosing which probiotic you take for yourself and make sure you select one that has medical evidence supporting it. Yes, the reduction of inflammation can certainly help to reduce colon cancer. Lactobacillus is not the only species that can have a beneficial affect.
