Almond milk is lactose free and is high in vitamin E and several other vitamins and minerals. It also has the benefit of containing fiber and is one of the most popular for flavor, but it is low in protein and perhaps the most expensive of the non-dairy milk alternatives. In medieval times it was given to the sick as cow's milk was considered to be unhealthy for adults.

So here's to milk, in whichever form best serves your needs. Whether from a cow, a goat, a bean or a grain, it remains a healthy dietary staple. Mom does know best after all.
