Alternatives to dairy products were a far cry a decade ago but have now become an integral part of the daily diet of millions as said above.

The consumption of such milk products have been proved to be really disturbing when many children and adults were diagnosed with health issues like Gynecomastia (Male Breast), early puberty in girls, Heart diseases (such as high or low blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmia, premature ventricular contraction etc.), Cancer,  Kidney ailments, Poor Eyesight, etc. Also, it was found out that milk enzymes deplete in adulthood and hence digesting milk becomes difficult.
