Organised once every four years, the 12th FENS European Nutrition Conference is being held this year in Berlin, from 20th to 23rd October. On this occasion, YINI is delighted to be part of the programme, hosting a symposium on a very topical subject: "Yogurt consumption benefits: global findings & perspectives". This insightful session, chaired by Prof Dr Raanan Shamir (Israel) and Andrew Prentice (UK), took place on Thursday 22th October, at 16.30 and was led by renowned experts in the fields of obesity, nutrition and diabetes!
Dr Richard Atkinson
He has worked in obesity research and treatment for over 40 years, is interested in obesity policy, and has advocated for young investigator programs nationally and internationally. His research
includes causes and treatments of obesity, particularly obesity drugs, obesity surgery, and virus-induced obesity. His laboratory demonstrated that human adenovirus-36 produces obesity in animals and is associated with obesity in humans.
In summary
The York Health Economics Consortium and collaborators performed a comprehensive literature search identifying papers on yogurt and weight management. Selection criteria were studies of classical yogurt only, probiotic bacteria were excluded, as were studies on individuals with various diseases. From 13,000 potential papers, 69 met potential criteria and 22 were selected, including 7 cross-sectional, 6 cohort, 2 crossover, and 7 controlled trials. All cross-sectional and cohort trials showed a beneficial association of yogurt and one or more body weight/composition measures. Limitations were that all dietary data were self-reported, confounding variables not completely controlled, and correlation is not causation. Two crossover studies were small, short duration, and uninterpretable. Five of seven controlled trials had major limitations including self-report of intake, inadequate or irrelevant research design, few subjects, inadequate description, etc. One well controlled, randomized study had clear results showing a beneficial effect of yogurt, but improper design to address effects of yogurt alone. Five of six RCT showed a beneficial effect of yogurt, but only one was significant. Yogurt is a “health food” accepted by most people and has potential for prevention and treatment of overweight/obesity. Previous studies give optimism for yogurt for weight management, but future well-designed randomized, controlled trials for proof of principle and large population studies for feasibility are needed.

Dr Jordi Salas-Salvado
In last years, expertise and research lines of Dr. Salas (Spain) are focused in human clinical trials evaluating the effect of diets and dietary compounds on obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. His speech gives an overview of recent epidemiological studies regarding yogurt and diabetes prevention.
In summary
The possible effects of dairy consumption on diabetes prevention remain controversial. Largely owing to their saturated fat content, dairy products are conventionally perceived as having an adverse impact on health. However, they are nutrient-dense food and contain high-quality protein, vitamins (A, D, B2, B12, and menaquinone), and minerals (calcium, magnesium, and potassium), which have been shown to have beneficial effects on T2D risk. Yogurt has also some possible probiotic effects modulating glucose metabolism. In this review we analyse all the epidemiologic studies evaluating the association between yogurt consumption and diabetes. Most of the published studies have demonstrated an inverse association between the frequency of yogurt consumption and diabetes risk. In the frame of the PREDIMED study, a clinical trial aiming at assess the beneficial effect of the Mediterranean diet on the primary prevention of
cardiovascular disease, total yogurt consumption was also associated with a lower T2D risk. In this study, an increased consumption of total low-fat dairy and total yogurt during the follow-up was also inversely associated with T2D. In addition, substituting one serving/day of a combination of biscuits and chocolate and whole grain biscuits and homemade pastries for one serving/day of yogurt was associated with a 40 and 45 % lower risk of T2D, respectively. Therefore, we conclude that a healthy dietary pattern incorporating a high consumption of dairy products and particularly yogurt may be protective against T2D in older adults at high cardiovascular risk highly predisposed to develop this condition. Clinical trials are warranted to definitively conclude that yogurt consumption have preventive effects on type 2 diabetes.
