Because almond milk comes from almonds, a nut known to bring countless benefits to our health, it is only natural that it is healthier and safer for human consumption in comparison to cow's milk, which is produced strictly for baby cows in order to help its development in that phase of its life. It is because of that very fact that cow milk is known to be indigestible to many kids above 2 years old as well as many adults. Below is a nutrition facts comparison chart.
