We often hear that we should eat more plant-based for our health or environmental reasons; but how do plant-based solutions measure up to dairy? Can we simply swap animal source foods for alternatives such as plants or formulated foods to achieve the same nutrition and health effects? Are plant-based products or diets nutritionally adequate? This webinar will discuss the nutritional differences between dairy products and plant-based alternatives before delving deeper into the differences between protein quality and calcium bioavailability from animal sourced foods and plant-based foods.
Dairy UK is a processor-led organisation representing farmer-owned co-ops and private dairy companies producing safe, nutritious and sustainable dairy foods. Our members collect and process milk produced in the UK.
Part of our remit is to disseminate evidence-based information on dairy nutrition to consumers, healthcare professionals, the media, and industry. Dairy UK webinars, conferences, events, seminars are designed and delivered by registered nutritionists and dietitians, and academics.
