The contribution of yogurt to nutrient intakes across the life course

In conclusion, yogurt makes a small but valuable contribution to nutrient intakes in the UK, particularly in young children. Among adolescents, the addition of a low‐fat yogurt would help meet recommended intakes for several micronutrients, particularly calcium and iodine, which are of concern in some teenage diets. Advice to replace some types of snacks and desserts, particularly those high in fat and sugars and low in micronutrients, with a pot of yogurt or similar dairy product may improve the nutrient density of their diet.
