Episode notes
Choose Milk Based on Nutrients
- For balanced nutrition, consider whole milk in moderation, especially if you need calcium and protein.
- Avoid overly processed low-fat milk products with added sugars and chemical additives.
Nutritional Gaps in Plant Milks
- Not all plant-based milks offer the same nutrition; many lack calcium, vitamin D, and protein.
- Only fortified soy milk matches cow's milk nutritionally in key nutrients like calcium and vitamin D.
Rethinking Saturated Fat in Milk
- Whole milk contains about 4.5 grams of saturated fat per cup, about 20% of daily recommended limit.
- Saturated fat is necessary and should not be demonized; quality sources like olive oil contain saturated fat too.
