Chemicals in store bought Almond Milk!

[GeorgeGlass]

I was corresponding with 2b lucky today about store bought almond milk. He said it’s probably unhealthy. I did some searching and found this article that says terrible things about store bought. The organic silk brand has these ingredients too. Small amounts probably don’t matter but i drink a couple gallons per week. I think I’m going to start making my own at home, from now on.

"Almond" milk is about 2% almonds! Either make your own or drink goat milk!

That's alarming. Thanks for posting. I agree with smurtaw that this seems a little sensationalized and against anything synthetic, but nonetheless will try making my own almond milk to see how it turns out.

I get the Whole Foods Organic Unsweetened almond milk and assumed it was just almond milk. never looked at the label. Now I see it has every chemical/supplement/additive discussed in the article. Hmmm.

I use oatmeal milk. Great cold . Store bought it a supermarket brand with 16 percent oatmeal and water .

Hey George,

I believe that Whole Foods carries this brand --

Organic Original Almondmilk, Unsweetened, 28 fl oz at Whole …

wholefoodsmarket.com/produc......

Organic Original Almondmilk, Unsweetened, 28 fl oz. Ingredients: Filtered Water, Organic Almonds.

If you make your own almond milk you control the quality of the water, (nothing like an artesian well where the water tests --hmm, hmm--well! Some people add a little sweetener, vanilla and salt.

When making your own start with chilled water, even a bit of ice to keep the temperature down when blending. Temperature degrades and shortens the storage time the "milk" can be kept. I use an Oster that has a heavy, thick, glass carafe that I put in the freezer for a couple hours before I make the drink with seeds, nuts, powders and frozen fruit.

I was thinking today that I might not drink as much, even the homemade stuff. I will start soaking the nuts I consume, to remove the phytic acid (anti-nutrient) and skip the almond milk on my oatmeal. Thanks for the recipe though. I might try that from time to time.

Not sure about those synthetic vitamins but the one brand of almond milk gave me the worst constipation ever. Was it the carrageenan ?

[GeorgeGlass in reply to Hidden]

I don’t know. I haven’t had constapation in a very long time. Vegetables fruit oatmeal herbal tea etc keep me regular. I’ve only had to use toilet paper about three times this year.

I use an Almond Cow for homemade nut milk. Best purchase ever.
