Vegan - is milk really that good for you?

So I read an article in the topics section promoting milk and how people dont drink enough of it. Basically its got calcium, potassium and vitamin D as basic daily nutritional benefits and whatnot (just to start). However people like myself - vegans, or people who want to cut back on fats have been switching to almond and soy beverages and it continues to say how its not as beneficial.

My answer to the question is no. I feel milk is not something people should be drinking because if there is a report comparison without all the facts (sugar contents specifically) then its probably not something you should be considering in your diet. Theres 11g of sugar in 250ml of milk, doesnt matter what percentage and right there in the grocery store i can clearly see the additives they bother with. Its not something i want in me, period (i dont even eat that much sugar in a day...) To me, If one wants more calcium, then take supplements; i mean, it costs just as much as 3 bags of organic milk (im canadian).

Please don't hold back milk from kids... but for yourself, just understand that unsweetened almond and soy have added in nutrients to make it more nutritious. Personally, i just use whatever is "the cheapest unsweetend nondairy beverage with the lowest calories and sugar content" in my tea.

What do you drink, Why, and do you agree with me? Have a good one :)) Stay healthy!
