Milk substitute

» new_writer - Non diary creamers...

I found your articles quite interesting.

I am a vegetarian, though I add milk to my coffee and tea. In fact almost all the Indians who call themselves vegetarians, add milk to their coffee..
'Milk is OK...as the animal is not killed!!' is how they argue.

Only recently, I switched to non-diary milk substitutes available at the grocery store.
Will I face any significant Calcium deficiency?
(Of course ... Nature has it that cow's milk is for its calf and not for a woman like me!)

If I have a child, should I eliminate animal milk entirely from its diet and substitute it with fruit juices?

I will appreciate your opinion.
Thanks
