Cow, almond, oat, soy, coconut…even ordering a coffee can leave you spinning with choices. Is one type of milk really better than the other? How do you know which one is right for your health and lifestyle?

In this episode of A Healthier Michigan Podcast, we explore:

Is cow milk bad for us?
Are milk alternatives “healthy?”
What are the nutrition facts on these alternatives?
How can we read labels to make the healthiest choices?
