The toxic truth about oat & almond milk

And why your “healthy” café order might not be so healthy

Good morning friends,

You’re out at a café.
You skip dairy, choose almond or oat milk… and feel proud of the decision.

But what if that “healthy” choice is quietly contributing to inflammation, bloating, and long-term health issues?

Let’s take a closer look.

What’s really in plant-based milks?
Take a look at most almond milks on the shelf—especially the ones used in cafés.

You’ll likely find:

Less than 3% actual almonds
Emulsifiers and gums to improve texture
Seed oils like canola
Added sugars and artificial preservatives

Oat milk isn’t much better.

Popular brands like Oatly are ultra-processed, packed with stabilisers and high-glycaemic carbs that spike blood sugar—and some even contain glyphosate residue from non-organic oats.

These aren’t “plant milks”—they’re made in a plant.
Big brands have massive marketing budgets—but behind the glossy packaging are products that:

• Contribute to chronic inflammation
• Strip minerals from your body
• Disrupt digestion and blood sugar

So what should you do instead?

• Avoid ultra-processed brands like Oatly, Almond Breeze, and others with long ingredient lists
• Choose simple options—organic coconut milk, raw milk (if tolerated), or homemade almond milk
• Better yet, make your own! It’s easier than you think and only takes a few minutes

Be mindful of what you put in your body.
Because marketing won’t protect your health—only you can.
