Program Description

In 2012, the Danone Institute International in collaboration with the American Society for Nutrition convened an international working group to examine the health effects of yogurt, identify research gaps, stimulate new research and communicate available scientific information to health care professionals and the public.  Since that time, annual scientific summits have been held.  This year’s Global Summit on the Health Effects of Yogurt will focus on yogurt consumption and weight management.
