More and more studies confirm something we've suspected for years: plant-based milks have fewer nutrients than cow's milk

A study compared cow’s milk with 10 plant-based drinks and found most alternatives provide less protein and fewer essential amino acids.

Researchers also detected Maillard reaction products in several beverages, and some contained more sugar.

The findings suggest many plant-based milks are not nutritionally equivalent to dairy milk.

This helps consumers make more informed choices about diet and product substitution.
