OPINION: Last week's announcement of Prime Minister’s new Science and Technology Advisory Council hasn’t gone down too well in the science community.
The dairyreporter.com reports that laboratory analysis found that vitamin C, A and K2 could not be detected in the measured plant-based drinks.
Vitamins B2, B12 and D2 were ‘almost absent’ in non-fortified varieties.
To compensate, many of these ‘milks’ are loaded with supplements, sugar and additives.
The Swiss scholars conclude that plant-based drinks are significantly limited in the amount of micronutrients they offer, unlike the superior cow’s milk.
