Cuddling cows
OPINION: Years of floods and low food prices have driven a dairy farm in England's northeast to stop milking its cows and instead charge visitors to cuddle them.
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.
