    I like the article but one of the sources says some weird things.

    Also, plant milks are not processed with animal enzymes, especially lactose

    Lactose is the sugar, lactase is the enzyme that breaks it. Might just be a mistake as my autocorrect wanted to turn lactase into lactose but the same person is again quoted:

    McKinney says. “They also have no cholesterol

    Dietary cholesterol doesn’t really matter. From https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9143438/

    We confirm from the review of the literature … that there is not a direct correlation between cholesterol intake and blood cholesterol.

    McKinney again seems to waffle on saturated fats:

    They are usually less saturated fats and calories implying that they are better for the heart.

    McKinney explains that coconut milk also contains high levels of saturated fat Lauroyl, which has antimicrobial qualities.
