Is cow's milk less healthy than plant-based milk?
It depends. It is true that there is still not much research on the effects of consumption of vegetable drinks in our health. Nor is it proven that a moderate intake of cow's milk is harmful to the body. But yes, the amount of proteins present in cow's milk is much higher than in those of vegetable origin.

The only plant-based drink that contains a level of protein comparable to that of cow's milk is soy milk. The importance also lies in the calcium provided by milk of animal origin. Calcium is essential in adolescence, as it allows the development of strong bones. The expert explains that if the bones do not develop correctly at this time in life there is a greater risk of suffering bone weakness in the future.

As well as we can buy other brands of this drink very healthy. Many people choose plant-based milk to reduce the environmental impact of dairy production. Maybe the hybrid milk has come to stay. It offers us both nutritional quality and flavor, as well as a product more sustainable. Bring together the benefits of both types of milk.
