Is there a good alternative for cow’s milk?
I’m considering dropping cow’s milk from my diet. What do you use for alternatives for milk ? I’ve heard some negative info concerning soy. Are you following medical advice regarding not drinking milk?
I like milk for a liquid to accompany my meals, for taste and protein benefit and weight gain. However, mucus is problematic. For four months I tried goat milk as a replacement. Less mucus, not as tasty and very costly. Don’t go soy… estrogen increase. I’m back to reduced-fat cow juice, but less than a quart a day compared to two-plus quarts. Works for me. Was having difficulty maintaining body weight and protein intake and calorie consumption, plus was bored with water only.
Too much milk can contribute to fat-weight increase and thick skin if one seeks hard muscularity.
Whether we need fear other milk complications (hormones, added ingredients), I’m not so sure. Gets crazy being a pure purist.
Das dat… Godspeed… DD
