Fortunately,
people are turning away from dairy milk and other dairy products. Finally, many
realize that dairy is full of toxic lactose and casein. Read the article Milk
Will Kill You. The grocery store shelves everywhere are stocked with
non-dairy milks. This is a wonderful thing, and most surprising. There is now a
choice of soy, almond, rice, coconut, hazelnut, flax, and oat milks. The
American Dairy Association is having a collective heart attack!
Let's
go over them...
Soy
milk was by far and away the leader until recently. Now soy has dropped to about
30% of non-dairy milk sales. This is a shame. Many soy milks are delicious, and
taste much better than dairy milk. Only buy organic, as most soybeans grown
today in America are GMO. Even Wal-Mart sells organic soymilk in plain, vanilla,
and cocoa. Much of this drop in sales is due to the ridiculous and asinine
disinformation by people like Dr. Mercola and the Weston Price Foundation. Read
the articles Dr. Mercola and Weston Price Foundation. Soy
is your best choice, as it is actually nutritious, and contains a good amount of
soy. Read the Soy is Good Food article.
Almond
milk is a misleading scam, as there are almost no almonds in it. You might get
about 6 almonds per cup- if you're lucky. How to they get away with this? By
saying "almond milk" is the leading ingredient, and not listing how many almonds
are in there. It's actually almond water, not milk. Almonds are very expensive.
Almond water is made by shaking almond paste with water. There are almost
no almonds in almond water. You get no protein, fiber, oil, almond meat
or anything else. The expensive almond oil is removed, sold at $12 a pint, and
replaced with inexpensive sunflower oil. Almond milk is really just sugar water
thickened with carageenan (seaweed extract) and lecithin, with some calcium
carbonate, potassium citrate, sea salt and vitamins. The recipes vary.
Coconut
milk is a another abomination. First of all, coconuts are a tropical food that
should be eaten by tropical races living in tropical areas. Nature has a plan,
and that plan includes eating foods that match your race and environment. It is
made from a water extract of coconut meal. Again, this is mostly sugar water
with thickeners and coconut flavoring.
Hazelnut
milk is just almond milk- almost no hazelnuts. The price of hazelnuts is very
high, and you just cannot afford to put them in there. You cannot make a good
water suspension of any nut, or seeds like sesame and flax due to their high oil
nature.
Rice
milk is a good choice, but it is not made with brown rice. Even Rice Dream® uses
"partially milled brown rice". Why aren't they making this out of real brown
rice? Rice is very water soluble and makes a good non-dairy milk.
Oat
milk is also a good choice, and contains lots of whole oats. It is naturally
thick because of the high beta glucan content, and very nutritious. This didn't
go over very well with most people, as it tastes distinctively like oats. You
can find this in health food stores.
Flax
milk sounds wonderful. Ideally, this would be a really great non-dairy milk.
Unfortunately, flax does not mix well with water. This is not going over well in
the marketplace. If new technology could make a good flax milk, that would be
great.
You
can buy unsweetened varieties of these non-dairy milks if you want. These do not
taste very good, and are best used in cooking. A little sweetener is necessary
to make any of them palatable for drinking.
Forget
the non-dairy creamers, as they are load with sugar! You shouldn't be drinking
coffee anyway. You don't need to put creamer in tea either. There is no reason
to drink dairy milk with all these choices.
