On a nutritional level, the idea is that the fatty acid profile of cow’s milk is more brain-protective than full-fat milk and skimmed milk, which was the driving factor in reducing the risk of depression and anxiety.

For example, if you scour nutrition labels you’ll find that many plant milks contain more phytonutrients and less saturated fats than cow’s milk. Dairy alternatives are also usually fortified with extra nutrients such as vitamin D, B12 and calcium. On the downside, plant-based milks a...
