Shoco just told me about this article, and as a lactard it interested me. I have never heard of hemp milk. I have recently seen oat milk it is made by the same company that makes rice dream hence the name oat dream. Have you tried it? Hey Aliza!

It's been mentioned several times as being "in soymilk." This is not the kind of estrogen that the human body (male and female) makes. The form of plant estrogen found in soy helps the human body balance estrogen content. The hitch is that excessive use of soy can upset the balance. Soymilk should not be used in the (misguided) way that Americans sit down and drink a quart of milk, for instance. Moderate amounts. I like Eden's unsweetened, made from soybeans and water. Again, I don't worry about the fat content as long as I'm using it in moderation. It's just a bean. Estrogen?

It's one of the things I love about Judaism is this concept of though we're eating the meat, we're being sensitive to its life... The Halakhic question was about cooking meat in almond milk, though, which has no dairy in it. It's not breaching the law, but someone might think it was milk. I completely agree with you, Shirley.

if you think so
Maybe it is a rabbinical law
and not a Torah law
But here i smy feeling:
it is more sensitive to the life of an animal to think of the saying “do not cook a kid in his mother’s milk” tells me that it is more sensitive to my consciousness to know that I am not boiling a baby of a mother in the very life giving milk of the creature

Very strange. I have a frum dentist friend in America, and one day, he started kvetching about how the stupid Israelis don't fluorinate their water.

You've been there for 3 years and haven't seen skim milk?? I was there last year and they were still selling the cardboard container with purple accents that was 0% made by Tnuva (looks like this container, with purple in place of the green: http://tinyurl.com/tnuva) The large groceries in downtown Jerusalem carry it, ones like Supersol/Shufersal and Mister Zol etc. -Adi @Michael Makov:
