7.Warding Off Heart Disease
It’s possible that fermented foods can help you stay clear of heart disease. A study done in Finland found that people who eat low-fat fermented dairy — less than 3.5% fat — had a much lower risk than people who ate other types of dairy or high-fat fermented foods. Research from Sweden and the Netherlands also found this benefit.
8.Lowering Bladder Cancer Risk
The same studies done in the Netherlands and Sweden that found heart benefits from fermented dairy foods also reported a link to a lower risk for bladder cancer. Again, these benefits weren’t seen with regular dairy.
