Demystifying Milks – Dairy, Non-Dairy, Plant Milks Compared
Milk has long been considered a staple in human diets, yet today’s consumers are faced with an overwhelming variety of options—from traditional dairy to a wide range of plant-based alternatives. Demystifying Milks – Dairy, Non-Dairy, Plant Milks Compared is designed to provide clear, evidence-based guidance on understanding these choices. The course cuts through marketing claims and confusion to present unbiased information about nutritional value, health implications, and practical usage. The course begins by exploring the composition and nutritional profile of dairy milk, including its role as a source of protein, calcium, and essential vitamins. It then expands into non-dairy and plant-based options such as almond, soy, oat, and coconut milk, explaining how they are produced and how they compare nutritionally. Learners will gain clarity on common misconceptions, such as whether plant milks can fully replace dairy.
