No thanks. the protean in those plant based alternatives are inferior. And the topic was coffee.

Oh, I didn't know that.

What's inferior about the plant based proteins?

"What's inferior about the plant based proteins? "

My statement was on plant based milk alternatives, not plant based proteins in general.

As for those plant based alternatives, it is harder to assimilate soy based proteins into the body. Soy protein is only acceptable once it has been fermented into tofu. Almond milk, is mostly sugar. As for rice milk, it does not contain complete proteins, and lacks nutritional content.

And again, the topic was coffee.

I can't find any science behind this claim. Do you have a source?

Okay the first link seems to highlight some possible dangers with soy if consumed in high quantity.

Most of the concerns with soy protein are related to high consumption levels, while moderate consumption seems to be safe and beneficial in most cases.

But it doesn't seem to discuss anything about being harder to assimilate.

As you might expect from the search terms.

Your second link is a youtube video ... great. I'll take a pass.

Your third link's thesis is that soy protein is interchangeable with and just as good as animal proteins for bodybuilding.

So you didn't find any science behind the claim either?

Don't tell me, you look down on videos, as they are not as refined as text. Though you often times listen to audio books. Because logic, of course.
