For the last couple of years, the amount of people consuming almond milk has been steadily increasing. Because of this, I've decided to inform you guys of the pros and cons of consuming almond milk.
PROS:
It contains a good amount of some antioxidants, which can help prevent cancer and slow down the process of aging.
It contains pretty much no cholestrol and no saturated fats.
It is not a milk taken from an animal, and contains no other animal by products so it is perfect for those on a vegan diet.
CONS:
People who suffer from headaches and migraines should probably avoid almond milk because it contains Tyrosine, an amino acid, and can cause headaches and migraines to become worse.
People who suffer from conditions that affect the thyroid gland should also avoid almond milk because of the levels of Tyrosine, which is known to have an effect on the levels of hormones released from the thyroid gland.
Drinking almond milk is not as beneficial as eating whole almonds, because it does not contain as much nutrients as cows' milk, and is also lower in protein and calcium
