Re: Plant Milks
"Perry" is a spammer. No actual intent to join in the conversation.
Plant milks can be delicious, and some of them offer nutrients that are desirable, but they don't really replace the nutrient profile of animal milk. (Which is not to say they should, I just think it's important to keep in mind.) Soy milk comes the closest to being equivalent to cow milk.
With lactose intolerance, for a lot of people "the cure is the disease." You can gradually rebuild tolerance if you used to have it and lost it. And even "intolerant" folks can manage a little at a time, in coffee or on cereal. For that matter, taking lactase enzyme works fine and doesn't cost a whole lot.
