Researchers at Flinders University in South Australia headed by Dr. Richard Le Leu found that Lactobacillus acidophilus LAFTI strain L10, Bifdobacterium lactis LAFTI strain B94, in combination with Hi-maize resistant starch and Fructo-oligosaccharide actually increased the death rate of cancer cells in the colon of the rat. The experiment was reported in a paper entitled "A Synbiotic Combination of Resistant Starch and Bifidobacterium lactis Facilitates Apoptotic Deletion of Carcinogen-damaged Cells in Rat Colon" the revision of which was accepted by the Journal called "American Society for Nutritional Sciences" in February 2005.
