Plant-Based Milk Alternatives and Human Health: Current Trends, Nutrition, and Public Health Implications covers plant-based milk alternatives and their impact on human health and nutrition. The book includes information on global national dietary recommendations, consumption trends, and public health concerns, and draws economic and health comparisons between conventional dairy milk and plant-based milk alternatives. Additional topics included are the history and commercialization of plant-based milks, their role in ethical issues, their influence on social well-being, and their impact on agriculture, business, and economics. Finally, the authors present projections for the future role and impact of plant-based milk alternatives in a global setting. This reference will be of particular interest to researchers in nutrition, food and beverage science, and public health who focus on dairy milk and milk alternatives, beverage companies and product developers in the non-dairy milk space, as well as governmental organizations that provide health recommendations.
