Unsweetened coconut & almond for healthy cereals and omelettes, unsweetened cashew for sugary snack cereals.

If you're afraid of drinking cow's milk because of the scary hormones, that means you have to eliminate ALL dairy, which includes any food with

Milk
Cheese
Butter
Yogurt
Cream

No thanks bro

Well most people are lactose intolerant so they avoid those anyway.

And hormones are definitely something to be concerned about.

They really aren't. People have been consuming milk and other dairy products literally for almost 10 thousand years.

I think dairy consumers are going to be OK.

That's a whole lot of people who are lactose intolerant.

But you're not saying quit dairy because you're lactose intolerant, that's common sense.

And I'm guessing some lactose intolerance is worse than others. Saying everyone should quit dairy because of hormones is like saying everyone should quit bread because of gluten.

no. lactose intolerance is comparable to gluten. the hormones have nothing to do with the lactose intolerance. the hormones affect everyone, unlike lactose and gluten

almond milk is garbage

The average hormone content found in milk is quickly filtered out by the liver before the absorbed nutrients get distributed througout the rest of the body. Lactose also isn't even worth considering if one has the lactate persistence evolution trait.

And if you want to talk about hormone-free nut/bean juice, why is soy even listed? That shit has copious amounts of phytoestrogens which closely mimics the female hormone estrogen. The other juices in the polling list also have nominal amount of phytoestrogens as well.

those are all garbage compared to real milk.

people dont want to hear it but ill write it anyway. if a person cant handle cow milk then they should try milk from a2 cow breeds. but i would recommend to stay far away from commercial cow milk in the USA because its full of too much estrogen. try goat milk because its mostly a2 and naturally homonogized or camel milk which is also a2. sheeps milk is also great but its hard to find.

if you want to try raw milk just make sure its from a farm that is overseen and the cows get checked up by the government because it can be dangerous. commercial milk in the usa is garbage, stay far away.

They don't affect everyone though.

Humans have been consuming dairy for 9 thousand years with no problems. The hormones really aren't a big deal.

And my point is that some people act like gluten is bad for everyone when in reality they only affect people who have celiac disease. Lactose intolerance isn't a disorder, people who have it just don't have the right enzyme to process dairy.

As a baby I was lactose intolerant but thankfully out grew it so I can enjoy cow milk now.
---

I personally use almond or pea milk.

Soy has too many phytoestrogens that cause estrogen hormone imbalances in both men and women.

Lactose intolerance can also be mitigated by increasing stomach acid pH with things like apple cider vinegar and aid with acid reflux, GERD, and proper digestion of protein.

And if by hormones you guys mean something like rBGH that is given to cows to make them grow faster, then I agree with you I wouldn't want to consume that even indirectly, although the actual danger of it is probably overstated. But if you mean the hormones naturally found in the milk then I don't agree with you.

Yeah, for a lot of people lactose intolerance just makes them gassy, for me it's more painful than passing a kidney stone. Makes avoiding dairy easy.

That's a whole lot of people who are lactose intolerant.

65% of the worlds adult population have a reduced lactose tolerance...afaik that doesnt mean they are lactose intolerant.

Continues reading, this only affects 5% of Northern European descendants... we will drink that shit straight from the utter!

I used to think I was somewhat lactose intolerant, but in recent years I only go to a local chain of dairy stores that has their own cows & doesn't fill them full of hormones-- I have no problems with their milk, ice cream, cheese, etc.

If I go to some place like Baskin Robbins, it upsets my stomach every single time.

Oat milk is the best milk

Oat milk is fine in cereal but by itself it's not great.
