A study by Swiss scholars and nutrition experts has found that plant-based drinks are not really alternatives to dairy milk.
The dairyreporter.com reports that laboratory analysis found that vitamin C, A and K2 could not be detected in the measured plant-based drinks.
Vitamins B2, B12 and D2 were ‘almost absent’ in non-fortified varieties.
To compensate, many of these ‘milks’ are loaded with supplements, sugar and additives.
The Swiss scholars conclude that plant-based drinks are significantly limited in the amount of micronutrients they offer, unlike the superior cow’s milk.
