Presentation 1
Biomarkers of milk fat intake and associated health outcomes
Dairy fat is a rich source of energy. It not only provides basic nutrition to the consumers, but also delivers essential nutrients – such as fat-soluble vitamins, phospholipids, lipoproteins and milk fat globule membrane material – required for normal physiological function. Consumption of dairy fat has not been perceived favorably in the past, which has led to increased market share for dairy fat substitutes. With research suggesting potential negative health impact of consuming trans fats, there is a shift in consumption of dairy fats. New research is being conducted on establishing the relationship between health and biomarkers of milk fat intake. This presentation covers the latest research conducted in this area in the past decade.
