Milk does a body good, according to the 1980’s marketing campaign. The message was simple, but the reality is more complex. Certainly, there are lots of vitamins in this beverage. But today there is a wide array of different types of milk with varied health benefits.
“All 'milks' are not created equal,†says Lise Gloede, a registered dietitian based in Arlington, Virginia. “Nutritional differences are vast. Consider using a plant-based milk [like soy milk] if you have allergies [or a lactose intolerance], but keep in mind that your intake of potassium, protein, riboflavin will be less. These are important nutrients.â€
