    pretty disappointing that a lot of her explanations for some of them got cut out, maybe just for time/interest sake? but feels like whoever edited this could have been a bit less heavy handed. and why only talk about the environmental impacts for a couple of the more popular milks and not for the rest at all? like, i get that wired has some standards for how these kinds of videos get edited or something, but feels bad to see a video that's made to be informational and have so much of the information removed?

      it is complex. Monoculture is by far more detrimental to the ecosystem reducing the environment to a single species means generally killing insects indiscriminately, which is the bases of the food chain for most ecosystems. Almond milk may be different as it's less mono but uses a lot of water. all in all there on balance is probably no benefit to than if you can't tolerate lactose.

      The video didn't mention that almond milk has a lower water footprint than dairy milk. The almond trees remove and sequester CO2. Dairy cows produce a huge amount of methane which is 20-80 times more potent than CO2 for climate change. On the other hand, there are plenty of other plant milks which use less water than almond milk.

    Dear Wired,
    Upload the uncut version of this because your editor butchered the interesting bits of information and cut it extremely short for the sake of monetization.
    This presenter is exceptionally intelligent and knows how to share that knowledge in a way that makes sense to us layman. You did us all a service by introducing us to this specific topic by this specific presenter and simultaneously a disservice by cutting her short.
    Sincerely,
    Most of the comments.

      Tiger nut milk is Horchata in Mexico. Typical ingredients are water, tiger nuts, sugar, emulsifier, modified starch, acidity regulators, lemon and cinnamon natural flavoring, and stabilizers. Not exactly a health food and a bit pricey in the States unless you get it at a Mexican food store. It hasn't caught on yet with gringos. Tiger nuts are tubers grown by certain sedges that resemble grass. Wild turkeys love to dig up tiger nuts - also called chufa nuts. Ranchers plant the sedges to attract turkeys and increase the population. Now these sedges are growing all over the southeastern part of the US. I used to dig up chufa nuts in Virginia and eat them raw. The raw 'nuts' are difficult and/or expensive to buy in California where I am. Too bad. I bet they are healthier than most things people eat.

    Yay! Hi, Rosemary! This was fantastic. Half my family is lactose intolerant, so plant-based milks are our go-to.
    We gave up soymilk in our household because the isoflavones (phytoestrogens) you mention can sometimes interfere with HRT.
    Now we mostly drink almond because of its availability, but given what you said about its environmental impact we may be having a discussion on that soon. We also drink flaxmilk, which is REALLY rich and tasty but tends to leave an oily residue in the glass (to the point that I'll handwash them because I know the dishwasher won't cut it). It also isn't that great for cooking-- it can split a little.
    I use oatmilk a LOT in cooking because it works REALLY well in breads and sauces--- the flavor is very mild and works with sweet or savory foods, it doesn't split when it's heated, and it makes a killer roux.
    I'd love to see a side-by-side nutritional breakdown for all of these (as well as how they compare dairy/cow milk)
