Abstract
Yogurt is a nutrient-rich food that is included in food-based dietary guidelines across the world. Yogurt can provide a significant amount of key nutrients to the diets of children and adolescents, particularly protein, calcium, vitamin B12, and phosphorus. Yogurt consumption in children is also likely associated with healthy lifestyle and dietary behaviors. In addition to being nutrient-rich, yogurt is an excellent substitute for high-energy nutrient-poor snacks and can thereby help children and adolescents develop healthy snacking behaviors that promote energy balance. Furthermore, the nutrients and ferments contained in yogurt have been implicated in gut microbiota modulation, and there are emerging benefits of yogurt consumption on bone health, weight maintenance, and cardiometabolic disease prevention.
