What is the best type of milk to drink(as a vegetarian)?!


Question: What is the best type of milk to drink(as a vegetarian)!?
i have heard a million times that milk is like liquid meat and it is known to be unheathy for humans consumption because of the way cows are treated!. But I have also heard that soy milk contains high levels of estrogen which can be harmful for people!. so i just wanted to know which kind of milk(raw cow milk,soy milk,rice milk,almond milk,etc) is really the best or healthiest i would rather not drink milk from a animal im trying to become vegan soon thanks in advanceWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Well you don't have to have any milk, soy or cows'!. Just so long as your diet includes the nutrients like calcium in particular that you wouldn't be getting by not drinking milk or milk products (eg cheese, yoghurt, ice-cream, etc)!. You won't be eating those either if you want to be vegan!.
And if you don't want meat, again you will need to ensure that your diet is sufficient in the vitamins and minerals and protein that you will no longer get by not eating meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It is best to consult some good books on converting to Vegetarianism or Veganism before doing so to minimize any health risk!. Soy and Rice milk are the alternatives I am using to replace milk, but I am edging away from Soy because I feel I may be having some very mild allergy to it!.
Try to steer away from the extreme like those who say cow/goat milk is liquid meat, it's the first time I heard of such twisted logic as no dairy cows are harmed/killed to produce not like a steak or hamburger!. Believe in a positive philosophy is the best approach to becoming a meatless eater!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Alternatives:

Goats Milk
Coconut Milk
Hemp Milk
Oat Milk
Rice Milk
Nut Milk – very easy to make at home using various nuts – almond being the most popular!.

And according to this site you can even have Potato Milk!

liquid meat!.!.!. lol
since cow's milk is still breast milk I might not love it when I think of it but soy or rice milk doesn't come out of a breast so it definitely sounds more appetizing to me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
