RE: What Milk Is Best? Environment, Cows, Almonds, and You

in #science7 years ago (edited)

I wonder what the ratios of cholesterol (remember your brain is mostly cholesterol, and lack of cholesterol has been linked to alzheimers and dementia), protein, saturated fat (also very essential, you need about 40 g/ 150 pounds/day), enzymes and minerals for a gallon of almond milk compared to a gallon of raw cow milk, and exactly how efficient is the almond compared to the cow at using about the same amount of water per gallon. I think that if you consider the concentration and the ratios you'd find there is hardly a case for almond milk.

Thanks for citing sources and contributing to discussion @baah! Interesting points. While we need saturated fats, proteins, cholesterol, and other compounds to stay healthy, these are not exclusively found in milk. If you are looking consume these compounds specifically, then almond milk would not help.

Side note: I am skeptical of information that comes from sites that have potential conflicts of interests! Information about raw milk from a site that promotes raw milk should be taken with a grain of salt.
