Industry Presented Webinar: Taming the Flame: Dairy Foods & Inflammation

Sponsored by: National Dairy Council

While social media feeds are full of suggestions to avoid dairy due to inflammation, nutrition and biomedical research does not support the claim. Inflammation is hot topic with consumers, health professionals and nutrition scientists. In fact, nearly half of people are looking to manage inflammation through lifestyle changes that impact diet, physical activity, sleep and smoking habits, as well as stress levels. So where does the science stand when it comes to dairy foods and inflammation? Multiple large-scale systematic reviews explored dairy consumption and found lower levels of inflammatory markers in daily dairy consumers. Join National Dairy Council for an in-depth look at the state of the science on dairy foods and inflammation, as well as strategies to manage lactose intolerance and ways to incorporate fruits, vegetables, whole grains and dairy foods into a healthy lifestyle that can help keep inflammation in check. 

Learning Objectives:  

• Summarize the current evidence on dairy food consumption and inflammatory responses as it relates to chronic disease risk and incidence 
• Explain how dairy foods provide nutrients that have potential anti-inflammatory effects 
• Share tips and recipes that incorporate anti-inflammatory foods including milk, lactose free milk, cheese and yogurt

His current research aims are to characterize how bioactives from fermented dairy, fruits, and vegetables inhibit chronic inflammation by modulating immune cells and the gut barrier. The Bolling research group is utilizing human intervention studies, cell culture, and animal models of chronic inflammation to accomplish these objectives. Dr. Bolling is a Scientific Editor for the Journal of Food Science, Associate Editor for Nutrition Research and Chair-Elect of the International Society for Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods.
