provide an added benefit. Crane
says researchers also do not know
whether the effect will last into
later childhood. “In addition, our
study does not provide ‘proof’ that
it is the yoghurt that is responsible.
This would require a trial in which
some infants get yoghurt and some
don’t. No such trial has yet been
done,” Crane says. “What we have
found is an ‘association’ – such as
infants who were fed yoghurt had
less eczema and were less likely
to be allergic.” At least two other
things could explain this - parents
who give yoghurt to their infants
also do other things that might be
reducing the chances of allergies
that the researchers are not aware
of; or if parents whose children are
at increased risk of eczema and
allergy deliberately avoid yoghurt,
making it appear that yoghurt
is giving protection. “We don’t
think this is the case, but only a
trial where parents can’t choose
yoghurt could prove this,” Crane
says. In the meantime, plain unsweetened
yoghurt is recommended
for infants from six months of
age as it may reduce allergies.
Fonterra Brands New Zealand
director of marketing Clare
Morgan says butter and yoghurt
have been part of the company’s
Anchor range for years, and now
cheese is joining the fold. “When
pioneer Henry Reynolds launched
Anchor in 1886 he would have
never imagined that more than
a century later, more than 150
Anchor products would be sold
every minute. This week it’s set to
grow even more.” As well as the
traditional tasty, colby and edam,
there are two new additions –
Protein+ and Zero Lacto – with the
latter introduced as an additional
option for New Zealanders with
lactose intolerance. “While most
hard cheese is naturally low in
lactose, this is batch-tested to ensure
there is no lactose, providing
a guaranteed lactose free cheese
option,” Morgan says. “Protein+
has 26% more protein than Anchor
tasty.” The new cheeses join
the list of more than 160 Anchor
products shared in more than 80
countries around the world.
