What kind of milk do you drink?

I read that cow’s milk has the most absorbable calcium
Plant alternatives such as almond milk or oat milk have added calcium carbonate which is less absorbable
I think I’ll be changing back to cow’s milk

I drink Almond Breeze brand because it doesn't have Carrageenan ingredient in it.

Almond Milk

I drink Kalona Farms organic whole milk. It's produced by Amish farmers in Iowa. It's not homogenized, so it has the cream on top, and it's minimally pasteurized. I don't like the taste of conventionally processed milk. This has a mildly sweet and creamy taste, and I don't have any problem digesting it. Hopefully, it's doing some good.
