Baby boomers probably remember when the government legislated assistance in a kid’s nourishment making it mandatory that every child receive roughly a cup of milk each school day.\u00a0 Public schools received daily milk deliveries, and each teacher would choose a student(s) to act as a monitor in the distribution of the milk to their respective pupils.<\/p>\n

Public schools have moved away from that practice, but in general the belief that milk is nutritionally important remains high on the list of daily dietary items.\u00a0 As a result, businesses are constantly seeking ways to sell products in a hefty variety of non-dairy alternative milk sources.\u00a0 The list of non-dairy alternative milk products make it from oats, soy, almonds, rice, flax, hemp, coconut, hazelnut, cashew nut, and a number of other plant-based resources.<\/p>\n

Since non-dairy milk alternatives are growing in popularity, there may be a need to revise the milk monitor, but instead of distributing dairy milk try monitoring the per-serving processed sugar level found in the variety of milks.\u00a0 Strangely, non-dairy milk labels frequently display processed cane sugar as the second ingredient, right behind the main source being identified in a type of filtered water mix.<\/p>\n

A common reason why people choose to drink milk is to help strengthen the body’s immune system; conversely, ingesting processed sugar weakens the immune system.\u00a0 The basic explanation is that white blood cells need Vitamin C to destroy bacteria and viruses.\u00a0 Where processed sugar and Vitamin C have very similar chemical structures, as the body takes in processed sugar it directly competes for space with Vitamin C immune cells.<\/p>\n

So, the more processed sugar is consume, the less Vitamin C can get into white blood cells, thereby weakening the immune system’s defense from infections.\u00a0 When I stopped eating processed sugary-filled items, it became noticeable how my immune system strengthened, all the way to now where it prevents both flu and cold infections.<\/p>\n

Ordinarily, having such a large array of choices would breed a big difference in ingredients, but unhappily, alternative milk manufacturers are constantly adding processed sugar to their end-product.\u00a0 Silk is a brand name advertised most often and their Original version contains 7-grams of processed sugar per cup.\u00a0 [Vanilla 16-grams; Light Vanilla 11-grams; and Light 5-grams].\u00a0 Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Original is 7-grams of processed sugar per cup.\u00a0 [Vanilla 13-grams; and Chocolate 20-grams].<\/p>\n

So Delicious Almond Plus Original is 7-grams of processed sugar per cup [Vanilla 8-grams]; Pacific Organic Almond Milk Original is 7-grams of processed sugar per cup [Vanilla 10-grams]; and Natura Almond Milk Original is 7-grams of processed sugar per cup [Chocolate 18-grams; Vanilla 15-grams].<\/p>\n

If it were not for processed sugar being so liberally used in other products, having these aforementioned non-dairy milks would probably be rational.\u00a0 Except for, processed sugar is an overtly added foodstuff ingredient; therefore it is necessary to live SugarAlert!<\/p>\n
