Yogurt is a fermented food that has existed for centuries with
bioactive properties that have long been thought to be beneficial
to health. The first commercial yogurts, sold over a hundred years
ago in pharmacies, were recommended to treat digestive disorders.
Yogurt: Roles in Nutrition and Impacts on Health compiles the
scientific research to date into a comprehensive reference book
that explores yogurt's role in diet and health, its composition in
micro- and macronutrients, and the potential mechanisms underlying
its health benefits. Yogurt's composition as a unique blend of
macronutrients, vitamins, minerals, and ferments makes yogurt a
nutrient-dense food that is included by health authorities in
food-based dietary guidelines. This book shows how regular yogurt
consumption contributes to the intake of key nutrients, such as
calcium and protein, and is associated with healthy dietary
patterns and lifestyles. The authors review the current evidence
linking yogurt consumption to cardiometabolic health and other
health conditions, including its established benefits in lactose
digestion, its promising role in the prevention of weight
management and type 2 diabetes, and its potential impact on
cardiometabolic risk factors. This reference book is a key resource
for nutrition scientists, dairy researchers, dietitians, health
professionals, and educational institutions looking for a
state-of-the-art review of the scientific evidence on the role of
yogurt in nutrition and health.
