Doc claims to have cancer beater

PADANG, West Sumatra: An expert on animal nutrition claimed
yesterday that he had engineered a traditional West Sumatran food
into a potential cancer preventive and cholesterol diluter.

Dr. Ir. Made Sugitha of the University of Andalas said the
traditional dadih was found to contain the streptococcuslactis
and lactobacilus acidophilus bacteria which are effective against
cancer and cholesterol.

Dadih is made of water buffalo and cow's milk.

Antara quoted Made as saying that an experiment in February,
funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture, found that lab
rats tested positively when given the traditional food.

He further explained that the lactobacilus acidophilus
bacteria can live inside the human intestines and help digestion
of food and eliminate the harmful pathogen bacteria. (mds)
