process manufacturers use to make soy milk. As a result, people may need to get it from other areas of their diet.
If a person is not able to do this then soy milk may not be a good substitute for cow’s milk. If a person is allergic to soybeans they should avoid soy milk just as almond milk may be a poor substitution for cow’s milk if a person is allergic to almonds.
Why do people seek alternatives to begin with? For one, dairy is one of the most common allergens among infants and children. Raw milk has been linked to outbreaks of salmonella and E. coli. There’s also the issue of lactose intolerance in which plant-based milk might be a better alternative.
Almond milk and soy milk can replace a glass of cow’s milk. It can be used in your coffee or in your favorite cereal, protein shakes, coffee, tea, etc. but keep in mind it is not a complete replacement for cow’s milk. You will still need to make up the loss of calories, protein and vitamins from other sources.
