Tastes good and is good for the climate: oat milk is popular. But is the plant drink healthy? A look at the ingredients shows: Consumers should not reach for the first oat drink that comes along.
Oat milk is trendy and has a reputation for being particularly environmentally friendly. It is also vegan and also suitable for people who do not tolerate cow’s milk very well. The reason: oat milk does not naturally contain lactose, which can lead to flatulence and diarrhea in sensitive people. The oat-based cereal drink can also be an alternative for people with an allergy to milk protein, as it does not contain any animal proteins. So is oat milk the healthier – maybe even better – choice compared to cow’s milk?
