is still associated with several human health benefits. In addition to the beneficial effects against diseases vyzyvaemy

by an imbalance of intestinal microflora, several experimental observations have shown a potential protective effect of breast

). Colon cancer is the second, the third most frequent type of cancer in Western industrialized countries. On campus

intestinal microflora, which consists of 1

living bacteria / g of colon content, LAB belong to those bacteria with beneficial effects (

). LAB play an important role in slowing colon carcinogenesis in potentially influencing metabolic, immunological and protective

function of the colon (

meal also increases the number and metabolic activity of LAB in the colon of humans and animals (
