Almond milk is a popular cow’s milk alternative. It has less calories, compared to full cream milk but it’s worth exploring the benefits and the side effects of consuming almond milk as it’s lower in some vital essential nutrients.
Let’s consider the differences.

When Kel was a child and the majority of people drank full fat milk.
Nowadays many have digestion issues with drinking milk. This is primarily because milk when pasteurized has most of the lactase destroyed. Lactase is important because it’s what helps metabolize the lactose. And with the rise of lactose intolerance in today’s society many people have now switched to almond milk.

Cow’s milk contains a lot of essential vitamins that many nuts or oat milks do not, including high levels of protein and vitamin B12 for instance.
It is estimated that 92% of Americans are nutrient-deficient and nearly 50% are deficient in vitamin B12 which can lead to issues like pernicious anemia, vascular disease, stroke, autoimmune conditions, fatigue and dementia.
While almond milk is rich in calcium, many people are not aware about an equally important nutrient called iodine. One small glass of cow’s milk contains about 70% of the recommended intake of iodine which is essential for brain development in babies and regulating mood and metabolism in adults.
Studies have shown that milk derived from plants contains around 2% compared to cow’s milk.
While you can get iodine from eating edible products such as seaweed, cow’s milk until recently was the main source of iodine that was part of the standard western diet for decades.
Even though Western societies are some of the most iodine rich countries in the world, many of us need every scrap of iodine we can get hold of.
A 2011 study of British teenage girls found nearly 70 per cent had iodine levels well below the acceptable minimum. Iodine is needed to make thyroxine, a hormone released by the thyroid gland that controls how effective your body is at converting food into energy, also known as metabolic rate.
Persistently low levels of iodine lead to depletion of this hormone and the slowing down of vital bodily functions, including burning energy. It is what is known as a ‘hypothyroid’ state, which leads to weight gain and mood swings. More worryingly, iodine deficiency in a pregnant woman can impact the brain of the foetus – a 20-year study of 14,000 pregnant and post-pregnant women discovered that if an expectant mother was mild to moderately iodine-deficient, this had a significant effect on her child’s reading ability and IQ scores.
Another study, looking at almost 50,000 babies, found both maternal and newborn iodine intake to have a significant impact on the child’s neurodevelopment at 3 years of age. Low levels of the mineral were associated with delayed language development, behavioural problems and reduced motor skills in children. This happens because a lack of thyroid hormones dramatically halts the brain development of the foetus.
With many people that are still consuming milk, switching to low fat or skim milk products is not the answer as that the fat removal process rids the finished product of a host of vitamins, such as Vitamin A and Vitamin D. Some of these vitamins are added back in afterwards, but by no means all.

Not all of us can have milk today, and due to the processing and other factors may not wish to drink milk.
The good news is that B12 Is not only found in full fat milk it is also found naturally in animal products. In fact Vitamin B12 is the only vitamin that we can’t get from either plants or sunlight…it is ONLY found in animal products.
And the richest source of natural B12 on the planet is grass fed beef liver (1). In fact, severe B12 deficiency used to be fatal until scientists figured out death could be prevented by feeding patients raw liver (2).
At Grassland Nutrition we are also fully aware about adding back liver and iodine into our diet, and that is why we created Grassland Nutritions organically Source liver and wild-harvested kelp, it contains the Perfect Blend of naturally occurring Vitamin B12, Vitamin A and Iodine in one convenient supplement, sourced from the cleanest locations in the world.
