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.🤬

Not really necessary to write a whole essay, no. You just keep saying that it's unhealthy but aren't saying specifically why, other than that it doesn't have as many almonds as homemade, when the links you share say it's healthy.
Thanks for sharing the ingredients to avoid! However there are brands that don't use this compound. Plus, I think that's mostly linked with IBS. Personally I drink oat milk and the brand I've got doesn't use Carrageenan, but it doesn't seem like it affects everyone the same.
For babies, they absolutely shouldn't be given dairy free milks, so we're in agreement there. I'm not arguing that. I'm just saying that it's not an unhealthy choice for adults unless you have a specific reaction to the compounds that may be used.
Oat milk is ok to use in moderation, wouldn’t ever use as a substitute to dairy for many reasons - oats are one of the main glyphosate affected crops, it’s not nutrient dense and has low protein and high sugar not to mention oat milk is also WAYYYY higher in carbohydrates than other dairy milk alternatives. Bc it is sourced from a grain, the carb content is around 15 grams of carbohydrates per serving compared to 1 gram per serving of almond milk. I buy unpasteurized milk directly from the farm and haven’t had any digestive problems - switched from using almond/coconut milk blend for years when my son was born.
Okay. I drink oat milk pretty much exclusively instead of diary milk
