F/U to Milk post from a while back

About a month or so ago, there was a post about what kind of milk people drink. I'm lactose intolerant so I had been drinking soy milk but after some of you had written about the dangers of soy, I looked into almond milk. I started drinking Blue Diamond (vanilla flavored) a few weeks ago and I really like it. If MH and I have to make a dish that calls for milk, I will have to resort back to soy because he is allergic to nuts (but that rarely happens). So I just wanted to say thanks for letting me know about a tasty alternative!

The only thing I do wish is that Blue Diamond would make an organic version of the almond milk. I tried Pacific Natural Foods but it didn't taste as good as Blue Diamond and it also wasn't calcium-fortified (which I need).

Anyone else an almond milk fan?

  • hmm..i must have missed the previous post...what dangers are you referring to? the estrogen link? i've never had almond milk and i'm picky about soy milk :) i don't like the mass produced soy milk from the grocery store, i only like the fresh stuff that you can get at asian markets! that's a product of me growing up in southern CA and having access to stuff like that :)
  • The dangers I've heard about are the high levels of estrogen, high levels of unnatural toxins, how it can harm your thyroid, how it can block mineral absorbtion, and it can cause digestive problems amongst a slew of other problems including infertility. Yikes! Figured its better to be safe than sorry.

  • I really like the almond milk (almond breeze), but didn't like it to drink straight.  On cereal it was fine, stuff like that - I can't remember if I used it for any recipes or not.  I use the lactose-free to just drink (like dunking choc chip cookies!). 

    My guess on the dangers of soy is that is has to do with eating/drinking A LOT of soy... but I think in moderation, you should be fine.
