I wonder how other alt milks fare. All of my milk consumption is spelt or oat (not oatly though), and I avoid almond for environmental issues. Cost performance, taste, and environmental impact make those two the best for me, but is anything significant better? I don&#x27;t imagine the other nuts are (cashew, hazelnut, etc.) but maybe rice?<p>&gt;They add some vitamins and minerals to get the nutritional makeup closer to cow’s milk, but no amount of extra vitamins makes sugary vegetable oil healthy for you.<p>Also this was a bit much.

I think the first order health heuristics: delicious -&gt; not very healthy applies here. If you want something taste good, you add sugars, salt or fat.<p>The main difference with Oatly compared to other alternative milks and oat-drinks is that Oatly is delicious even if you are not vegan or don&#x27;t care about health. At first it tastes odd, after few days it tastes delicious and normal milk tastes odd. It&#x27;s about what you learn to expect.<p>Because it&#x27;s delicious I have always suspected that Oatly can&#x27;t be very healthy.
