A MONTH-LONG roadshow showcasing the latest research and insights on dairy, nutrition and health is now underway, calling at cities throughout the UK.

The Dairy Council initiative, targeted at health professionals, kicked-off this week in Glasgow and Newcastle, and will then head south with further conferences in Liverpool, Birmingham, Cardiff and London.

The seminars will provide insights into some of the hottest topics in dairy and health, including dairy’s relationship with cardiometabolic health, obesity and healthy ageing, muscle and bone health.

Dairy Council director of nutrition Dr Anne Mullen said: “The role of milk and dairy foods in leading a healthy balanced diet is all too often misunderstood – but the evidence is well-substantiated, and it’s gathering strength.

“We therefore wanted to host a series of seminars to engage with health writers and health professionals across the country, and to offer a platform to translate the science and debunk the nutritional myths. Whether it’s saturated fat, heart health, type 2 diabetes, obesity or healthy ageing, the research field on milk and dairy has grown significantly in recent years."

All seminars in this series are endorsed by the Association for Nutrition and have been backed by AHDB Dairy. The events are free to attend.
