A baby was losing weight and vomiting. At the hospital, doctors discovered he was starving from an almond milk diet:
The mother was trying to raise the baby vegan.🤬

Almond milk isn't based on Soy afaik.

I use this one to help me keep my carb intake low, but obviously I look elsewhere for nutrition and vitamins etc.
Don't forget, enough almond is toxic with arsenic. May have poisoned the baby!
WRONG!!!
USA brands of so-called ALMOND MILK have over 40 (forty) times as much soy than almond.
Its all soy. Almonds comprise only 2% OR LESS the ingredients in almond milk. I thought everyone knew this

ALMOND MILK is actually SOY MILK in USA
That UK brand you hi-lighted has only ONE TENTH the protein real cow milk has . Your chemical crap is 0.35 grams protein in 100 ml of overpriced crap, versus 100 ml of milk having Protein 3.32g!!
WOW! TEN TIMES MORE PROTEIN IN COW MILK! (unless soy is added)
Ok, so I wasn't aware it was different in the USA, you don't have to be a dick about it. I even linked the one I use to show it doesn't contain Soy so I wasn't making claims about all Almond milks - I also caveated what I said as being limited based on my current knowledge.
So,
edit: I just read that link you provided - nowhere does it say Almond milk contains Soy, so you're the one who is wrong.
I said its 2% almond and all the rest is NONDAIRY COFFEE CREAMER
You also said
So I'm looking at my carton of Blue Diamond Almond Milk and it says right on the carton "Soy-Free", the ingredients being almonds and a bunch of flavorings and perhaps preservatives. There is no soy whatsoever in this California-based product.
Edit:. Furthermore, the article you cited is from 2015. Perhaps you want to update your knowledge base.
cc: u/JonathanE -- You were right that they don't contain soy. Check your carton. I use the sugar-free BD brand, not sure how the others stack up.
THAT is nondairy coffee creamer with about 2% almonds added and HAS NO PROTEIN.
in 240ml it has just under ONE GRAM of protein!! :

EIGHT TIMES MORE PROTEIN in california real milk, minimum by law!

See? 8g per cup vs under 1g per cup.
adding soy turns your almond water into food though, like most USA products do
I'm happy to agree with you about the protein, but when you claim that:

You were wrong about the soy content, used seven year old data that's obviously not valid, at least in the case of the BD product.
You provided a lot of (seemingly) good data on soy in your prior comment (that I saved to delve into later), above, but your overly-emotional reaction to your fellow anon isn't gaining you any followers, anon. Do you want to turn people off with your caustic condescension or do you want to provide useful, current/accurate information on the health concerns regarding soy in a reasoned, calm and intelligent manner? Your choice.
