A new study by researchers at the university of Michigan US found that food preservatives that grow in milk can be used to treat cancer and antibiotic bacteria. They fed rats 'nisin milkshake' and checked its activity on tumours and microbial growth. After nine weeks of nisin treatment, 70-80% of tumour cells were removed and there was a substantial decrease in antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The findings are to be published in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy.
