This session will explore the evolving science and practical application of dietary protein in today's food and nutrition landscape. Attendees will review current clinical evidence on protein requirements across the lifespan, including considerations for metabolic health, aging, and active populations as well as consumer trends. Emphasis will be placed on translating this evidence into practical dietary recommendations that support optimal health outcomes.
The session will also examine how protein functionality and food formulation strategies influence total dietary intake and consumer consumption patterns, particularly as protein is increasingly incorporated into a wide range of foods and beverages. In addition, the potential health implications of high protein intake will be discussed, including considerations for kidney health, nutrient displacement, and long-term safety. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to apply evidence-based guidance when evaluating protein intake levels and supporting balanced nutrition in practice.
