I haven’t had goat milk before but this got me convinced to try it
For the plant milks, did you consider only “raw” products and not the fortified stuff you can mostly buy nowadays?
ice cream made with goat milk is the GOAT
Soy milk seems like the undisputed best plant based milk.
Ever since i saw a video where people got to try freshly pressed soy milk in taiwan I’ve wanted to see if it makes that big of a difference compared to the stuff you get in a US grocery store.
Hasn’t it been proven that goat/cow milk is one of the best sources of calcium?
How did you decide that real milk should be the colour brown and plant-based milk should be a shade of grey?
What was the fat content of the Dairy? Whole? 2%? Skim? Because that shifts the Fat and Carbohydrates of the graph. I didn’t dig too deep into the research article.
Why no human milk?

This shows almond milk with more carbs than cow milk which is objectively false.
numbers are more useful than shapes and specificity matters
Why isn’t goat milk as commercialized as cow milk?
Of it soy milk didn’t taste so bad 🙁
Everybody should eat whatever they want, nothing wrong about any of it. But why call the ones that are not milk, “milk”?
Add cholesterol and saturated fat.
They should add another row for pus
Compare Dairy factory ☠️ to Plant based alternative factory
You forgot one ingredient: the suffering
I wonder how human breast milk compares, *purely out of curiosity lol*
Something I would suggest in the future for charts like these is humans are very bad at estimating area (noticeably circles), and commonly underestimate the area of larger and larger circles.
About the info itself, I drink plant-based milks because they’re a quarter of the calories of animal milks, so I’m not surprised the values on the left are all so much smaller.
Really, considering that, soy is doing great.
And it would be fun to see this chart using all of these as a ratio over calories, and using grouped cubes instead of growing circles for the values. Like that radiation chart from xkcd.
pea protein milk is missing.
So i can either drink real milk and get all of the good shit. OR have to drink various inferior alternatives?
Why is milk suddenly political? I just got a phone notification from the AP about milk
And making animal milk brown is… a choice
This is why I have unabashedly drank whole milk since I was a child. Despite many years of oppression by vegetarian friends and family members. I don’t care if they drink soy milk, that’s their choice, just let me have mine. Only reason I can see not drinking it are moral choices and lack of lactase enzyme for some folks.
Based on nutrition soy is the best alternative, but in terms of environmental impact Oat is the GOAT!
HOWEVER… There is a difference in diary protein vs. plant and other protein when it comes to growing.
Someone can correct me, but I believe only dairy protein helps with height in growing children. Went down this rabbit hole in the past. Kids with milk protein allergy usually end up shorter then counterparts.
Of course, this doesn’t matter for adults.
Test
Soy is the healthiest and the most ecologically friendly, oat is second healthiest and still very ecologically friendly and has less divergent taste from dairy. Other milk alternatives aren’t really worth it unless you can’t have those two due to allergy etc imo
kinda makes sense considering the purpose behind animal milks is to provide nutrients to offspring during years they dont typicaly eat the expected foods.
The difference between cow milk and plant milk is only important if a majority of your nutrients come from milk intake. Unless you drink a lot of milk, the diary choice is not important for your nutritional intake
It looks like they just happenedd to list the micronutrients that they already knew were in dairy and goat milk. I’m quite sure there are other combinations of micronutrients that could make any one of these other milks look like they “win” too. It seems a little deceptive, tbh.

I mean, goat milk is really tasty anyways….
