@jodegaard and whoever else: about milk-cow/soy/almond

@jodegaard, you lurking?

In a thread about milk a while back you said something about cows milk crossing the species line. I had never thought of it that way and I've been thinking about that while nursing Em longer than the other two.

I bought Almond milk today. I have generally stayed away from soy milk because of the estrogen. I get the feeling you have knowledge on this matter! School me!

Sorry, girl, that wasn't me! I said cow's milk is not a dietary imperative. The benefits of WCM drop drastically once it's been pasturized. And there are other avenues for fat intake. I just dislike the pressure that unless your kid is drinking a certain number of ounces of milk, then they are not getting the nutrients they need. It's simply false.

We stay far away from soy.

Weird! Where did I get that? It must have been on that milk spiral.

Ummm what's bad about soy milk? I haven't heard that one!

@brandyleighxx Soy in general is controversial but I also stay away from it, personally.

One reason:

"Soy contains large amounts of biologically active compounds calledisoflavones, which function as phytoestrogens… that is, plant-based compounds that can activate estrogen receptors in the human body"
