THURSDAY, Feb. Che ez camera driver for mac. 1, 2018 (HealthDay News) - Almond milk, soy milk, rice milk and coconut milk may all offer lactose-free alternatives to cow's milk, but new research suggests that the dairy version. Sep 30, 2019 A 2011 study in science journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions found it takes a total of 242 litres of water to produce a cup of cow’s milk, 132 litres for a cup of soy milk.
Looking at a bottle of almond milk, it's easy to see why so many people have made the switch.' Just filtered water, activated almonds, organic brown rice syrup and sea salt.' No wonder juiced nuts are having a moment! It sounds like a magical nutrient wonder potion.Except that 'organic brown rice syrup' is just a fancy way of saying 'sugar', and 'activated almonds' are just nuts that have been soaked in water.Not all plant milks are created equal, of course, and there are lots of good reasons why people make the switch to dairy-free.But how do alternatives like soy, almond and coconut milk stack up nutritionally? Milk that's real milkBefore we make the jump to juicing oats, let's first consider the nutritional benefits of dairy.Cow's milk has been a staple of Western diets for thousands of years and is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, particularly calcium.Milk plays an important role in bone health, and drinking it is an easy way to boost your nutrient intake, said Nicole Dynan, an accredited practicing dietitian and spokesperson for the Dietitians Association of Australia.'
Milk gives us a lot of the nutrients that we need in our diet, including calcium, protein, vitamin A, vitamin B12, zinc, magnesium and riboflavin,' Ms Dynan said.The recommend you eat 2.5 servings of 'milk, yogurt, cheese and/or their alternatives' per day.Tim Crowe, a nutrition researcher and accredited practicing dietitian, said although calcium intake was important, it was 'a bit of a myth' that people needed to consume dairy.' There's no reason why anyone has to drink cow's milk There's nothing inherently special about it that you can't get from other aspects of your diet,' he said.However, Dr Crowe said cow's milk was a 'great source of nutrition', and added that any concerns about it having negative impacts on people's health were unfounded.' If you don't like milk, or if you're intolerant, that's fine, have something else,' he said.'
But if you enjoy it, then by all means keep enjoying it — there's no strong reason to change your habit anytime soon.' Soy: the original 'alt-milk'If you're opting for a dairy-free milk alterative, soy milk is a good place to start. Soy was the first plant-based milk to appear on supermarket shelves and is still the most widely available option.Soy milk is made from either ground soy beans or soy protein powder, reconstituted with water, and often adjusted with oil (and sugar) to imitate the consistency of cow's milk.' Soy milk is a good source of protein, and if it's fortified with calcium — which most soy milks are — it really is on a par to cow's milk,' Dr Crowe said.A investigating the nutritional differences between cow's milk and almond, soy, rice and coconut milk found soy milk fared the best of the alternative milks — by a long shot.'
It is quite clear that nutritionally soy milk is the best alternative for replacing cow's milk in human diet,' the authors wrote.Soy milk has more protein on average than other plant alternatives, contains fibre, and is a source of 'good' fats.Dr Crowe said that while soy milk was nutritionally superior to other plant-based milks, it always paid to check whether a product was fortified, and preferably unsweetened.' That's one thing to watch out for — some soy milks have added sugars to try and mimic the natural sweetness of milk, so it always pays to check,' he said. Rice, soy and almond are just three examples of the many milk plant-based alternatives. (ABC News: Julia Sansone)Confusion and distrust surrounding soy foods has grown in recent years because of concerns about their effects on hormones.Soy milk contains large amounts of phytoestrogens — a class of plant chemicals that mimic the body's natural oestrogen — but on a much weaker scale.Dr Crowe said despite concerns about phytoestrogens causing an increased risk of breast cancer and hyperthyroidism, clinical studies have consistently shown those fears are overstated.'
Studies that have been done in humans do not point to any harmful effects,' Dr Crowe said.On the contrary, there is research to suggest phytoestrogens may have a protective effect against some cancers.' We know that people in Japan, for example, who have lots of soy foods have lower risk of cancer, particularly breast cancer but the research is not conclusive,' Dr Crowe said.The only exception is women with existing breast cancer or past breast cancer, who are advised (by the Cancel Council) to 'be cautious in consuming large quantities of soy foods or phytoestrogen supplements'. Almond, coconut and rice alternativesAs for trendy new alternatives like almond and coconut milk, Dr Crowe said they're rarely the natural, nutritious milks they're touted to be.' There's not a lot in them.
They're basically just very watery,' he said.' They might be useful to use as substitutes in cooking, but they're not a nutritional substitute for cow's milk.' Some almond milks contain as little as two per cent almonds. (Pixabay)Nut milk, such as almond and cashew, is a mix of ground nuts and water, and usually contains added sweeteners and salt.
It tends to be low in calories and saturated fat, but isn't always calcium-fortified.Rice milk is made from milled rice and water, and has comparable calories to cow's milk.
