This made me wonder whether the probiotic, Saccharomyces boulardii, might be a cancer risk given it’s very similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. I don’t think this study suggests that but this is very much not my field!
I was unsure, so I did a quick search (DDG -> saccharomyces boulardii microbiome cancer), seems that S. boulardii has some significant anti-cancer effects. And one should keep in mind that there are many different types of cancer, so these benefits may have been shown in some cancers, and may not be the case with all cancers. There’s more to learn.
