This table hides a lot of important information. If you look at calories and sugar, you could think that oat milk is equivalent to cow milk. First calorie measurement is imprecise at best, and then, there's how what you eat influences your metabolism. These two articles might help you make up your own mind: - Death of the calorie - https://www.economist.com/1843/2019/02/28/death-of-the-calorie https://www.economist.com/1843/2019/02/28/death-of-the-calor... - Oatly: The New Coke - https://every.to/almanack/oatly-the-new-coke-821556 https://every.to/almanack/oatly-the-new-coke-821556

The second articles claims about sugar in Oatly (really oat milk in general, they mostly all use a similar enzyme treatment) are rather misleading. "GI is a measure of how much of a negative response your body has to certain sugars" is a gross mischaracteriztion, but even if you take it at face value, it's not useful to compare the GI of the component sugars in oat vs. dairy milk alone (maltose vs. lactose). Let alone represent oat milk as being pure maltose in a comparison to Coke, a product with no fibre, protein or fat or micronutrients.
