Plant-based milks may fall short on key nutrients, study warns
Original: dairy vs vegan milk nutrition study
A new study reports that swapping dairy products for unfortified plant-based milk alternatives could leave people deficient in certain nutrients. Researchers point to gaps in protein, calcium, iodine and other nutrients commonly found in cow's milk, unless plant alternatives are specifically fortified. Health commentators are urging consumers to check labels and consider their overall diet before making the switch.
Why now: Growing numbers of people switching to vegan milk alternatives are concerned about the nutritional trade-offs.
