Study: Switching to Plant-Based Milk Could Lead to Micronutrient Deficiencies

• Researchers found that switching from dairy to plant-based milk, cheese, and yogurt could lead to micronutrient deficiencies.
• Young people and women are most at risk of these deficiencies.
• The study recommends fortifying vegan products with iodine and other essential nutrients.
• Children, teenagers, and women are particularly affected by the switch to plant-based milks.
• Partially switching to vegan alternatives could also result in nutrient deficiencies.
