Fortification Key to Plant-Based Milks Matching Dairy Nutrition
Original: Fortification Decides Whether Plant-Based Milks Match Dairy on Nutrition and Climate
Plant-based milks can only rival dairy on nutrition and climate impact if they are fortified, according to a new analysis. Unfortified oat, soy and almond drinks often lack the calcium, vitamin D and protein levels found naturally in cow's milk. Researchers say fortification choices, not just crop emissions, determine whether these alternatives are a genuine nutritional substitute.
Why now: A new study highlighting that only fortified plant-based milks compare to dairy has drawn attention amid growing consumer interest in milk alternatives.
