I saw almond milk today, is that worth buying ?

That's to whole milk = full cream milk.

Almond milk is gay.

Mouse milk

Abstract
We have investigated, in mice, an in vivo method for producing low-lactose milk, based on the creation of transgenic animals carrying a hybrid gene in which the intestinal lactase-phlorizin hydrolase cDNA was placed under the control of the mammary-specific alpha-lactalbumin promoter. Transgenic females expressed lactase protein and activity during lactation at the apical side of mammary alveolar cells. Active lactase was also secreted into milk, anchored in the outer membrane of fat globules. Lactase synthesis in the mammary gland caused a significant decrease in milk lactose (50-85%) without obvious changes in fat and protein concentrations. Sucklings nourished with low-lactose milk developed normally. Hence, these data validate the use of transgenic animals expressing lactase in the mammary gland to produce low-lactose milk in vivo, and they demonstrate that the secretion of an intestinal digestive enzyme into milk can selectively modify its composition.

I'm loving Heath & Heather Green Tea with Manuka Honey at the moment

white milk -

yellow - bananas or puss.
pink - strawberry or blood.
brown - chocolate or s?

stick to the original and best. white.

Almond milk is delicious and easy to make, no need to buy it.  Coffee mate is full of saturated fat and rubbish.

almond milk is OK but it is very 'weak' and much like semi skimmed dairy milk  you have to use so much when making coffee and tea -  so you have to warm it up first unless you like cold coffee

do i need a machine to make it ?  - can i make it in the soup maker /smoothie maker etc

I drink raw, organic milk from a glass bottle - about as healthy as you can get where milk is concerned.

It is from an organic farm about ten miles from me and it is delivered to my doorstep twice a week.  It costs £1.00 for a 500ml bottle.

I have been concerned in the past about drinking milk because of the 'we are the only mammals that drink milk' argument.  But so much of our food is adulterated in some way, even 'healthy' fruit and vegetables, that milk bought this way seems okay.  I mainly have it in soups and home made ice cream, yummy

Thanks for the info screamingwavesetc, it makes sense, why did great britain conquer the world, maybe because of milk

Thanks, Diva, and good evening to you too

Just about any adult mammal will drink milk, given the opportunity. Just try opening an exploding Tetrapak carton of the stuff in the presence of a dog and see what happens.

The problem is that it gives them diarrhoea, because, like most non-European people, they lack the genetic mutation making them lactose-tolerant. But if the milk is made into cheese, then lactose intolerance is no longer a problem, either for people or any other mammal. There's absolutely nothing "unnatural" about adult mammals consuming dairy products.

Even the most annoying dog will behave itself/swallow tablets/learn tricks in return for a piece of cheese.
