March 2, 2019 | “The Microbiome and Dairy in the Diet” | Lecture by Dr. Lara Hyde
Proposed speaking topics are the microbiome and the role of dairy in the diet. Emphasized concepts are outlined below.
The Microbiome:
- Defining the microbiome as a population of microbes and their genomes living across body sites (oral cavity, gut, skin, vagina)
- Describing the development of the microbiome, highlighting key developmental periods and inputs
- Describing current research regarding roles of the microbiome in health, including metabolism, nutrient digestion, vitamin production, neurotransmitter production and the brain-gut axis
- Exploring the variability in microbiomes between people, diseases and across lifestyles
- Focus on dietary influences on the microbiome, outlining the current evidence base for probiotics, prebiotics and fermented foods
- Current evidence-based practices to support a healthy, diverse microbiome
Dairy in the Diet:
- Evolutionary role of milk in the diet
- Characterizing the nutrient profile of dairy products and their influences on health, including calcium, saturated fat, protein and vitamin D fortification
- Epidemiological studies investigating dairy consumption and various health issues, including osteoporosis, body weight and diabetes
- Exploring current issues in dairy consumption, including fat-free versus full fat, conventional/organic/grass-fed, casein A1 and casein A2, raw versus pasteurized milk, comparisons between cow milk versus goat milk and non-dairy “milks” from soy and nuts
- Factors to consider when deciding the role of dairy in your diet: age, lactose tolerance, overall dietary pattern, physical activity, growth status
