Replacing Dairy
with plant-based alternatives in German children and adolescents: A modelling analysis on the nutritional impact
This project will compare different dietary scenarios taking real-life and complete dietary patterns into account to evaluate different levels of exchanging dairy intake with plant-based alternatives. The compilation of different subgroups of dairy alternatives allows statements to be made about the most suitable products in terms of main ingredients and fortification in a particularly vulnerable group in terms of nutrient intake and thus can result in recommendations for product selection and development.
The project promises to make a strong contribution with respect to the analysis of variability in dietary patterns and adoption of plant-based alternatives for human and environmental health benefits.
