Are you in need of a healthy milk substitute? Are you dairy intolerant and in search of good alternatives to milk? Or perhaps you can’t get your hands on any milk from grass-fed cows — pasteurized or raw? Or maybe you’re fasting from dairy for religious or health reasons and simply want the most nourishing milk substitute you can find?

These days, people turn to soy milk. Even if you’re not turned off by the fact that it’s an industrial waste product spun by marketers into a so-called “health food,” you can’t like the numerous health-risks associated with soy. (I’ll be writing more on those later in the week. But as a foretaste of things to come, soy: is thyroid suppressing, blocks absorption of minerals like calcium, causes hormonal imbalance leading to infertility and breast cancer, disrupts protein digestion, can cause growth problems in children).

So, if you’re not willing to drink soy milk, what’s left for you? What are the healthiest milk substitutes available?
