The only thing that tastes like milk is milk. There are products made from
rice that simulate it, but they don't taste like milk. They can be
refreshing beverages in their own right though.

Jack IMO

PS In case you're wondering...

The only thing that tastes like butter is butter
The only thing that tastes like beef is beef
The only thing that tastes like cheese is cheese.
The only thing that tastes like fish is fish
The only thing that tastes like ham is ham.
and on and on....

You might try nut milk. It's surprisingly milky.

Soak overnight (or 8 hours) 1 cup to 1.5 cup of raw, untoasted almonds.
Put in blender with water. 3 cups (to four if using more nuts).
Blend. Can be used as is. But for a more milk-like experience, strain the
blended mixture through a fine cloth (finer than cheesecloth). Put the
strained liquid into the rinsed blender. Add 2 tbls honey (or even better
Maple syrup) and 1 tsp sea salt (or reg is ok). Blend. Put in container for
use.

This being a raw product won't last for too long - a couple days. So use it
up.

Rice milk is an acceptable substitute for some. Try it to find out if it
meets your needs.

Rice Dream is better for your son that Soy Milk I suppose... Soy Milk
has those wonderful things called Soy Isoflavones... A "natural" way to
raise estrogen levels and thus relieve menopausal symptoms, such as hot
flashes, without promoting breast cancer... but I'm going on the
assumption that your son doesn't have Jublies...

Phytoestrogens...
A good way to lower your sperm count.

Interesting research to be found on the web involving men and excess
consumption of soy products.

Just out of curiosity, why are you dairy free? :-)
Dairy products are one of the best and most balanced sources
of calcium/magnesium/phosphorous for females to prevent
osteoporosis...

Actually, cow bones are a *much* better source of
calcium/magnesium/phosphorous... more commonly known as Microcrystalline
Hydroxyapatite (MCHA)... "Bone Up" from Jarrow Formulas is the
definitive Osteoporosis preventative supplement... especially for people
like me who feel milk is an ingredient not a beverage... There's a
reason babies are weened from the teat...

Providing you can actually absorb it and not pass it undegested...

There are conflicting reports about bone meal supplements. :-)

Coral Calcium seems to hold some promise.

What many people do not realize tho' is that calcium, when taken by
itself, rarely does any good. It needs to be balanced with Mag. and Phos.

Really. I learned that when rehabbing wild baby birds. Mineral balance
is imperative for proper bone deposition and development. Same goes for mammals.

Dairy products seem to be highly absorbable, and balanced. I don't drink
milk, (it's way too high in calories!) but I do eat yogurt and cheese,
and take a BALANCED mineral supplement.

IMHO, growing children should have all the milk that they want unless
they are obese. Just a personal view!

Soy has been linked to infertility in males in some research.

On the upside, the planet is overpopulated anyway, so infertility is not
necessarily a bad idea. ;-) That's my political statement for the day. <G>

Coral Calcium is a scam... plain and simple... Dr. Barefoot is (A) not a

other type of medical practitioner... And Kevin Trudeau, Barefoot's
sidekick, is a two time convicted felon for fraud and unsubstantiated

Calcium is *nothing* more than Calcium Carbonate... Might as well knock

Yep... at least a 2:1 ration of Cal/Mag... MCHA, Citrate or a blend of
both...


> Soy has been linked to infertility in males in some research.



Now this puzzles me... Asians consume *much* more soy based products
that we in the US do... so theoretically Asians should have higher
estrogen levels which in turn result in more feminine like qualities...
Yet Asians, if the theory holds up, are thought to score higher on Math
and Analytical exams than us "manly" Americans... Doesn't that verge on
the Oxymoronic?

My almost 2 year old son is dairy-, egg-, and multiple other allergic.
Since I'm still nursing him, I'm off it too. Himself has milk in tea
and cereal, but that's about it.

We do take multis (all of us) and little himself takes a daily dose of
calcium (with his multi drops). Thankfully, he likes fresh veggies :-).

Don't get me wrong...I love and miss milk, butter, yogurt and plenty
other things. Soy cream cheese and sour cream are good subsitutes...but
I'm dying for some butter. Or shortbread. Or freaking caramel!!! :-)
But we do what is best for the children, hopefully with strict
avoidance, he'll outgrow the allergies (there's a fighting chance of
that...80%, I think we were quoted).

Oh dear... You DO know that coral calcium is more widely available than
the scam infomercials? Even "Now", one of my favorite brands of
supplements, is carrying a coral calcium supplement! Twinlabs is not
tho' which is a good sign of it's lack of usefulness. Twinlabs is one of
the best supplement companies in the world right now...

Yeah, I'm dubious about it, and think I'll stick with my mixed
multiminerals and Twinlabs magnesium, but even tho' coral calcium is
primarily calcium carbonate, it also contains a ton of trace minerals!

Trace minerals are something that a LOT of people lack. I use "Natures
way" trace minerals and the contents read like the periodic table. :-)

Uh, ok, and what does analytical exam scores have to do with reduced
sperm counts and sperm motility due to increased estrogen levels?
'sides, it's _reduced_ fertility, not infertility that I've been reading about.....

Wow! What a great mom... :-)

My sister was allergic to chicken eggs, she was able to take duck eggs.

Mom nursed her until she was nearly 2 1/2. Not many moms do that for
thier kids nowadays! It's nice to see!

What brand of multi's? The nutrition doc that I worked with for awhile
recommended "Solgar". "Twinlabs" is also excellent.

<hugs>

As well, it makes more sense to have an allergen free household (he is
2) cause he can get to stuff and we don't want any accidental exposures.
He can't have tomatoes...I'm not going to sit in front of him and have a
big bowl of pasta with marninara sauce. He doesn't yet get the "Dada
can have, but you can't..." and I think it's cruel anyway.

Yeah...it's sad really. There are so many benefits to bf'ing, I don't
know why more don't do it. Or why they want to give an inferior product
to a child...(not flaming...even the formula producers have to say that
breast is best)

Let's see...little himself gets Abidec liquid drops, and calcium sandoz
(a liquid calcium supp...he can't take a lot of the pills cause they're
milk-based). Big Himself and I do Trader Joe's (well, Trader Darwin's)
Multi's (we bring them with us from the states...we've taken them for
years, and like them a lot). And I do Sona Calcium supp 2x a day.

There isn't much calcium enriched food over here (not like in the
states), but we get as much as we can.

The Now brand failed two of it's Lab Assays recently... Neither their
Glucosamine or Coenzyme Q-10 products contained what their label
stated... it's a cheap bargain brand... Stick with Jarrow Formulas,
Source Naturals, Blue Bonnet, Natural Factors etc... Jarrow is
reasonably priced and MUCH better quality than most of the crap out there...

Twinlab just filed for Bankruptcy... Haven't you noticed the new cheap
plastic bottles?...

Why not just take a balanced Multi?... The undisputed King of Multis is
this one... Purity's Perfect Multi...

That was supposed to be a joke... If Asian males are more "womanlike"
because of higher estrogen then they should in turn be worse at Math...
because everyone knows men have higher math skills than you women

Solgar also failed their last Lab Assay... They aren't the same company
they were 5 years ago... they've since been bought out and the quality
has declined...


>"Twinlabs" is also excellent.



....and Bankrupt.

Default Allergies -- was: Any non-soy milk substitute?

What's the latest skinny on food allergies? When I was a kid, I was
supposed to be allergic to eggs, chocolate(!), and something else
good. My sister was supposed to be allergic to cows milk, beef, and
wheat! (these things always seemed to run in threes and make life as
difficult as possible). BTW, for Herself, for what it's worth, goats'
milk was deemed OK for my siser, although very hard to find in that
time and place. I remember having one severe, throat-closing reaction
to chocolate mousse, and a rash from too many summer tomatoes. I
definitely remember sneaking Hershey bars with no ill effect. I *did*
have a lot of "allergy attacks" as a kid -- sneezing, wheezing, etc.--
which in retrospect I feel were pollen-related 'hay fever'. Evidently,
my sister and I "grew out of" these allergies, as we've definitely
been omnivores since jr. high. I hear now that there's a theory
allergies are related to blood type.

I'm not familiar with Trader Joe's Multi but a quick way to check the
quality of your Multi is by the Vitamin E... If it says "DL-Alpha" then
it's junk... toss it in the trash... If it says "D-Alpha (notice the
missing L) then you've got a quality product... DL-Alpha is synthetic
Vitamin E and *NOT* what studies used when they made the claim of
reduced heart disease... An excellent One-A-Day is Blue Bonnets Multi
One... it's only around $7.99 a month...
