Including dairy in diets is important in meeting the challenge
of delivering on Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger.
Studies have shown that dairy plays an important role in providing
enough protein and nutrients to feed the world. The Symposium
provided the opportunity to build a deep, mechanistic
knowledge of the health properties dairy and leverage this understanding
into nutrition and management.
Some key takeaways from the discussions:
• Dairy as a vital nutrient source: Not all protein is equal,
and milk is the best natural source of calcium, highest
protein quality and has the best overall digestibility.
• Dairy for bone health: The importance of bioavailable
nutrients from foods particularly dairy foods for
sustained bone health. Consumption of dairy in
childhood makes an important contribution to bone
health later in life.
• Dairy and body weight: There is little evidence to
support the concern for limiting dairy products
consumption on the grounds that they may promote
obesity. Especially in childhood and adolescence where
most of studies conclude to an inverse or null
association between dairy intake and obesity.
• Nutrition and antiviral immunity: A healthy diet and
good nutrition play a significant role in building a
strong and healthy immune system. The immune
system is very sophisticated, and a lot of lifestyle factors
influence the immune response. Among the multiple
nutrients that may be involved, recent convincing
evidence supports special roles for Vitamin D and Zinc in
particular.
• Dairy and inflammation: Dairy and inflammation:
Based on scientific evidence, there are no pro
inflammatory effects of dairy consumption, and many
anti-inflammatory effects are reported. Fermented dairy
products may have beneficial impact on inflammatory
markers, with no explanatory mechanism very well
identified at this stage.
• Sustainable diets: to assess the environmental impact
of food, it is important to consider the nutritional
aspects, in terms of nutrient density/protein quality.
