Sorry Oatly: "The age of oat milk is over – we should all be drinking more cow’s milk" (OTLY)

The rat bastards changed the headline from the above to the flabby "Skimmed, semi-skimmed or oat...".

We took a rather jaundiced view of OTLY though not as harsh as our view of BYND.

From The Telegraph, January 22:

Skimmed, semi-skimmed or oat: The best (and worst) milks for your health
From boosting serotonin to protecting bones, here’s how cow’s milk stacks up against popular dairy-free alternatives 

Go back a few decades and it was only cartons of green, blue or red topped milk that you would find lining fridge doors in Britain. It was a simpler time. Now, even though we’re drinking half as much milk as we were 50 years ago, the variety on offer has grown.

The humble cow’s milk is passed over by one-in-three Britons who favour trendier soya, almond, oat or coconut options, presumably due to the belief that it is better for their health or the planet (with it costing double the price, it’s certainly not for the benefit of their wallet).

Though, with sales in decline and some brands discontinuing their dairy-free milk ranges, the category may have passed its heyday. The spotlight firmly on ultra-processed food – and the realisation that dairy-free milks are often full of oil, flavourings and stabilisers – seems to be shifting the health halo back to the minimally processed cow’s milk. But just how good is it for our health?....

Compared to soya and cow’s milk, oat milk contains much less protein (2.2g per 200ml) and more calories (120 per glass), though it does have a bit more fibre (1.2g).

It’s usually fortified with nutrients to match the calcium and vitamin B12 levels in cow’s milk, Hobson notes.

However, research shows the vitamins and minerals that are added into plant milk are not absorbed by the body in the same way as if they were naturally-occurring, Prof Givens notes....

....With Beyond Meats and Oatly getting whacked it's probably a good thing the other company in the WEF portfolio, Ÿnsect, isn't publicly traded. 

Although, maybe, it would be protected by the gratuitous umlaut "Ÿ", it has a sort of a heavy metal vibe to it.
