A recent article highlights the growing popularity of plant-based milk alternatives to cow's milk, with over ten options now available. Soy milk is highlighted for its protein content and heart health benefits, while coconut milk, despite its high saturated fat and cholesterol levels, contains hardly any proteins. However, coconut milk is not suitable for regular consumption due to its high cholesterol. Nuts used in milk alternatives can be a strong allergen and some, like almonds, can be toxic. Despite this, these alternatives are important as they provide unsaturated acids, which the body cannot produce.
