1º"Starting with his campaign for the presidency and continuing until this week, President Joe Biden has maintained one clear and consistent position on his son’s influence peddling schemes. As a virtual mantra, Biden — and the White House staff — have categorically maintained that he had no knowledge of any foreign dealings of his son. That has been proven to be a lie, but Biden continued to maintain the position. Yet, on the eve of the testimony of a key Biden associate, the White House has changed its position. Now the President is only claiming that he was “not in business” with his son. Some of us have written multiple columns over the last four years arguing that the President was clearly and knowingly lying in his denials of knowledge and discussions of these deals. Even when he made the statement, it was clearly untrue but most of the media shrugged and happily walked away."

2ºMarshall Rines why? - it's for baby cows- are you a baby cow? your info is also lacking/wrong- nut milk does have protein in it and nuts- just not that much- but you aren't drinking it for protein. Nut milks have more calcium than cow's milk. Soy estrogen is plant estrogen and it is much weaker than estrogen in cow's milk. Cow's milk is a scam- humans don't need it and shouldn't drink it- plenty of healthy choices to get calcium, protein, vitamin D (which is added to cow's milk- ADDED- did you read that part?). These are facts- look them up.
3ºREAD the ARTICLE- the headline is misleading. BTW- cow's milks is for baby cows and is designed to make them grow quickly- it is not for humans and it has cholesterol and estrogen in it- btw, humans are supposed to be lactose intolerant (anyone who has taken a basic anthropology course would know that) we are NOT supposed to drink milk our whole lives. Also, cow's milk is fortified so it doesn't have everything in it automatically. READ the WHOLE ARTICLE: Taken DIRECTLY from the article - “The plant-based milk market is exploding, offering beverages made from seeds, nuts, legumes, grains and blends of those ingredients, often marketed as ready replacements for the traditional choice of cow’s milk. However, not all of those plant milk options are fortified to meet the levels of various nutritional ingredients contained in dairy, according to a new unpublished study presented Monday in Boston at Nutrition 2023, the annual meeting of the American Society for Nutrition.
The study analyzed nutrition labels and ingredients for 233 plant-based milk products from 23 different manufacturers and found only 28 of the beverages had as much or more protein, vitamin D and calcium as cow’s milk. About half were fortified with vitamin D, two-thirds were fortified with calcium, and nearly 20% had protein levels similar to cow’s milk,” said lead study author and registered dietitian Abigail Johnson.
“I’m not seriously concerned about this as it’s easy to get these nutrients from other sources, and cow’s milk certainly isn’t perfect and infallible,” said Johnson, who is assistant professor and associate director of the University of Minnesota School of Public Health Nutrition Coordinating Center in Minneapolis. “But if a consumer thinks plant-based milks are a one-to-one substitution for dairy, many of them are not.”
In fact, plant-based milks bring healthy options dairy cannot, said nutrition expert Christopher Gardner, a research professor of medicine at the Stanford Prevention Research Center in California who has analyzed alternative milks.
“My initial response to the ‘Oh my gosh, plant milks aren’t as nutritious as cow’s milk’ is that it’s bunk,” said Gardner, who is also clinical director of the Stanford Diabetes Research Center. “None of the plant milks have cholesterol, they all have very low levels of saturated fat, and some of them have fiber. “Dairy milk has cholesterol, has saturated fat and does not have fiber,” Gardner added. “And when it comes to dairy and calcium, three-quarters of the world is lactose intolerant, and they get their calcium elsewhere.”
In addition, there are milk alternatives that are good options for people aiming to reduce their calorie intake. Some are “quite low in calories, and considerably lower than low-fat milk, so if someone is looking for a white beverage that is low in calories, that may be a reason to look for a milk alternative,” said leading nutrition researcher Dr. Walter Willett, a professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston.
“Further, for those concerned about climate change, the milk alternatives will be a better option, and in the long run, we can’t have human health without planetary health,” said Willett, who is also a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School."
