Lumping all of soy, rice, almond, goat milk as "non-cow" is pretty unfair to goat milk.
Does their study indicate all milks in "other" independently showed similar difference in height of 1.5cm? Or are they saying the average for all other was -1.5cm in which case maybe kids on almond milk were -2cm and breast milk +1cm? And goat's milk some third number? My strong hunch is it is the latter in which case the 1.5cm is completely meaningless.
Here is another clue, the one example they give of nutritional differences cites soy milk's low protein while failing to mention that goat's milk has more protein than cow's milk.
Didn't read the original research but either the research is bad and possibly biased or this is very misleading reporting.
[edit] removed mention of breast milk since article didn't say that
- teilo 9y agoThank you! How did anyone think it was a valid metric to lump goat's milk in with fake milks (plant-based milk substitutes)? Did they break this down further?
- nbanks 9y agoI suspect that goat milk would be a reasonable alternative but the sample size was too small to draw any conclusions.
- eagsalazar2 9y agoThen the study should have omitted any reference to Goat milk at all. Why did they just include Diet Coke on the list and then afterward say there wasn't enough data to exclude it? Still seems like bs.
