The American Society for Nutrition and the Danone Institute International sponsored a “global summit” to discuss the health effects of yogurt during the ASN’s Scientific Sessions & Annual Meeting at Experimental Biology in Boston in April. The event featured leading international experts in medicine and nutrition science. The summit presented 15 speakers from 13 countries.
ASN and the Danone Institute are partnering with The Nutrition Society in the United Kingdom on a multiyear initiative to examine and document the health effects of yogurt, stimulate new research and communicate available scientific information to healthcare professionals and the public. Annual scientific conferences will be held around the world to share findings and encourage new research on the topic.
