(Stéphnie Marin/ Presse Canadienne) — Among plant-based milks, soy milk is the best nutritionally, according to a team of researchers at McGill University.

In addition, many people are allergic to or intolerant to lactose, present in cow’s milk, and are looking for alternatives.

Cow’s milk remains the most nutritious of all, but soy milk comes second and is clearly the best of the vegetable drinks. (…)
