Is plant-based milk really milk?

August 22 marks World Plant-Based Milk Day, an annual observance that highlights the growing popularity of plant-derived alternatives such as almond, oat, and soy beverages. The occasion serves as a focal point for ongoing discussions regarding the nutritional equivalence of these products compared to traditional dairy milk.

As interest in wellness and plant-based diets continues to rise, the terminology used to describe these products has become a subject of public inquiry. The event provides a platform to address consumer questions about whether plant-based alternatives meet the nutritional standards associated with conventional milk.
