Plant based milk Vs. Cow Milk

Professor Lund explains, "We definitely need to consume more plant-based foods. But if you’re looking for proper nutrition and believe that plant-based drinks can replace cow’s milk, you’d be mistaken.”

The University of Copenhagen's professor, came to conclusion that after studying ten types of tea, plant based milk and cow milk are nutritional not equivalent. Confirming, while plant based foods are beneficial, Professor Lund stressed that one cannot solely rely on pant based milk for source of nutrition.

Nutritional value of the two types of milk

The researchers found out that the milk that comes from cow contains 3.4 grams of protein per liter, meanwhile eight out of 10 plant-based drinks contain just 0.4 to 1.1 grams. 

An Ultra High Temperature treatment in plant-based milk is the reason that reduces the protein and amino acid content.
