Lactose in enough quantities gets my tummy rumbling in a bad way so I’m trying out alternatives.
Oat milk in hipster coffee drinks is pretty good.
Soy milk as a protein and calcium beverage is fine. Tastes OK.
There is lactose-free milk too but that is still suspect. Either it’s not all the way lactose free or too much of any kind of dairy quakes my intestines.
I learned about it in school, and you’d have to a drink a huge amount of it to matter at all. There are some edge cases (which may have been proven wrong in the last 15 years) where the estrogen-like compound can cause issues with certain cancers and such. But please do not take this as truth bc I have not looked at it in a lifetime of health science research.
