Swapping dairy milk, cheese and yoghurt for plant-based versions could leave you short on iodine, calcium, B2 and B12, a UK study of 3,500+ people finds. Swapping just one third cut iodine intake by up to 21%, with teen girls and women hit hardest. Almost no vegan cheese or yoghurt has added iodine.
