Plant-based milk versus dairy nutrition
Please let us know about substituting regular cow/ buffalo milk and dairy products to plant based milk , yogurt from almond, soya , oat etc
There are several studies now available comparing the different plant based milk like almond ,oat ,rice and Soy milk comparing with cow milk. I did not find a whole lot of data with buffalo milk. The interesting findings are that cow milk and soya milk are the only one that contain > 3% protein and all the other milk had < 1% protein despite fortification. Also the other nutrient like vitamin B12 vitamin B six and some other micro nutrients were much lower. The calories are much lower in all plant base milk. So if you clearly have dairy allergy these are good substitutes, but we really do not have long-term data on what kind of nutritional deficiencies might occur by using plant-based milks overall . Hope that helps .
