Voskos has been in the forefront of healthful eating for five years, “and because a number of studies have linked the probiotics in yogurt and calcium consumption to cancer prevention, it’s only natural for Voskos Greek Yogurt to support The Entertainment Industry Foundation Revlon Run/Walk For Women,” says Susan Randolph, a registered dietitian and contributor to the Voskos Greek Yogurt What’s Fresh blog.

Scheduled on May 12, 2012 in Los Angeles, the annual EIF Revlon Run/Walk For Women has distributed over sixty million dollars to increase awareness, education, research, and diagnostic treatment services in the fight against women’s cancers since its debut in 1994.

Voskos Greek Yogurt is supporting the estimated 50,000 women and men who are taking part in the event by providing each of them with a gift of a 5.3-ounce serving of high-calcium Voskos Greek Yogurt, and a free tote bag.

“As a woman, I appreciate the work the Entertainment Industry Foundation does in presenting the Revlon Run/Walk for Women,” says Randolph. “Knowing that more than 273,000 new cases of womens’ cancers will be diagnosed every year in the U.S. makes this cause that much more compelling. Voskos is honored to support the women and men who are taking part in this important event.”

“Yogurt has often been referred to as a ‘superfood,’” adds Randolph. “Several studies show a correlation between calcium and probiotic intake and a reduction of cancer rates. In the Nurses’ Health Study, women who reported a high-calcium diet reduced their risk of breast cancer by an amazing 33 percent! Another preliminary study has linked consumption of digestion-friendly Acidophilus bacteria to lower cancer risk, apparently because it reduces the conversion of bile acids into carcinogens.” Acidophilus is just one of the active probiotic cultures included in every creamy spoonful of Voskos Greek Yogurt, which is also naturally high in calcium.

Voskos Greek Yogurt has been recognized in awards contests presented by Fitness magazine, Women’s Health, Vegetarian Times, Natural Solutions, Self Magazine and Cooking Light magazine.
