A simple yeast-based food supplement may help restore the immune system’s ability to fight cancer, according to new research in mice. Scientists found that yeast beta-glucan reprogrammed early immune cells in the bone marrow, leading to stronger, longer-lasting cancer-fighting responses against colorectal, skin, and breast cancer cells.
In experiments with obese laboratory mice, the researchers found that adding the supplement to the animals’ diets changed the way immune cells developed and produced stronger cancer-fighting responses.
Obesity can interfere with immune function, making it more difficult for the body to re...
