Yogurt is a well-recognised source of calcium, but it also provides small amounts of many other micronutrients, including:
- potassium
- zinc
- phosphorus
- magnesium
- vitamin A
- riboflavin
- vitamin B5
- vitamin B12
- and in some countries, vitamin D

Recent evidence shows that metabolites produced by the gut microbiota, including short-chain fatty acids, can suppress lung inflammation, which may play a key role in lung cancer development...
Did you know that sugars in plain yogurt are represented by intrisic lactose?
Due to fermentation, as bacteria feed on lactose, yogurt contains 23% less sugars than milk and is easier to digest!

Yogurt is a fascinating food: In this infographic how the live ferments convert milk into yogurt, changing its taste and texture and producing bioactive compounds and vitamins. Moreover, these live ferments are still alive to provide benefits in the gut.
Why is yogurt consumption considered as a signature of a healthy diet? Because of:
👉its nutritional content
👉its contribution to overall diet quality
👉its impact on metabolic health
👉its relationship with healthier behaviours & lifestyle factors
