Look inside a supermarket shopping trolley and you may well see a bottle or carton of non-dairy milk - a drink that has been produced from something other than cows' milk. There's been a huge increase in these alternatives to regular cows' milk. They're made of water and finely blended nuts, beans or grains, including rice, soy and almond. The latter, compared with milk made from things like soy, has a lighter flavour, which many people prefer. This makes it one of the most popular milk substitutes. Almonds in their natural form are very good for you. However, people are often surprised to find that many brands of almond milk contain only about $$\(2 \%\)$$ almonds. And while it's good to know that there is less sugar in almond milk than in cows' milk, there is also less protein, which is needed for building muscles and repairing the body's cells. Almond milk is very low in cholesterol, a substance which can lead to heart problems, giving people another reason to switch to almond milk. Many of the almonds that are destined for milk production are grown on large farms in California, an area that experiences periods of drought. When we consider that it takes around an astonishing 5 litres of water to grow one almond, the issues caused by almond milk and its production become obvious. What is more, almond trees are often treated with chemicals, and these can have a damaging effect on the local wildlife. Despite these concerns, almond milk remains popular. And the fact that it doesn't need to be kept in a fridge before opening makes it a convenient choice for many. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
