Plant-based milk swaps linked to iodine deficiency risk

A Guardian report says people swapping dairy milk, cheese and yoghurt for plant-based vegan alternatives may be missing out on key micronutrients, particularly iodine. Readers are checking labels on soy and other plant milks, with one noting her one-litre UHT soymilk contains no iodine, prompting concern among vegans and others about nutritional gaps in dairy-free diets.
Why now: The report raises fresh health concerns for the growing number of people switching to plant-based dairy alternatives.
