Soy milk and soy formula are not recommended for infants and children by the American Academy of Pediatrics because of the presence of heavy metals, Manganese and Cadmium which are neurotoxins and can cause autism, ADHD and other neurological problems
If I were to rate the different alternative milk be options they would be as follows:
1. Almond- good source of protein, may have a lot of added sugar.
2. Coconut- good source of fat but can cause diarrhea
3. Cashew- nothing wrong with it but it can taste gross
4. Rice- almost no fat and no protein
5. Hemp- it's a weed, ew.
6. Soy- the soy protein effects your body in similar ways to the hormone estrogen. Not an ideal choice when there are better options.
