Never posted before so I hope this is in the right place.
This is for me - a healthy adult in their early twenties, not for a child.
Basically I'm a vegetarian, I do drink milk, but I'm looking for alternatives that will also contain things like Iron (which as a vegetarian is a bit more rare in the diet) or generally be more beneficial than milk.
I've tried Soya - but then read a whole load of stuff about how bad it is for you unless you're over 50 (apparently it has effects on hormones and can cause infertility).
Then I tried rice milk.. guess what.. also can be bad for you! Less so, but it does contain a larger quantity of arsenic than most things. They don't think it's actually enough to cause you harm, but it's made me uneasy about it.
I have found out about hemp milk, which has no dangers I can find out about and is apparently very good for you, containing Omega 3, Iron, Magnesium etc. But I can't find that, only hemp seeds. I can obviously blend these in drinks to make my own, but they're really expensive.
So.. finally, my question.. does anyone know of any other dairy type alternatives? I'm also looking for beneficial fruit juices. As I said at the beginning, this is just for me, not for a child, and it would only be an addition to a fairly healthy diet.
All advice welcome :)
