Milk versus milk like beverages | Jeukendrup - Trusted sports nutrition advice & exercise science news

A great article that sums up the differences in nutrition between milk and 'milk-like drinks', and why it's best to choose cow's milk (or soy milk fortified with calcium if you're lactose intolerant) for recovery. It's important to note many 'milk-like drinks' are not fortified in calcium and therefore don't help in keeping your bones strong like soy milk fortified with calcium or cow's milk do.

How much SUGAR is in that drink?? See pic below.... And the winner is…..WATER! Water doesn’t have any sugar (added or natural) and keeps us well-hydrated. Plain milk comes in as runner-up. While milk contains 4 teaspoons of sugar per 250mL glass (that’s 1 ½ teaspoons per 100mL), all of this sugar is lactose which is naturally in the milk. No-added sugar juice is an ok choice, as long as you limit consumption to no more than ½ a glass (that’s 125mL) per day. While it’s been sourced from fruit and has had no sugar added to it (it only contains sugar in the form of fructose which comes from the fruit) it’s a poor source of fibre so won’t fill you up like a whole piece of fruit does! As a consequence, it’s easy to consume large volumes of juice which can end up contributing a high percentage to your daily calorie intake! While diet soft drinks and diet cordial contain no to minimal added sugar (they have sweeteners added to them, instead), their super-sweet taste can tend to give your taste buds a preference for other sweet foods that often have loads of calories. So it’s best to steer clear of diet drinks unless it’s a special occasion. Sports drinks, cordial, iced tea and flavoured milk contain 1 to 1 ½ teaspoons of added sugar per 100mL, making them only occasional (not every day) drink choices. - Sports drinks can be useful with helping to top up our electrolytes during and after exercise, but keep in mind that if you’re exercising for no more than 60 minutes, what you eat and drink after the exercise can provide you with sufficient electrolytes without the need for sports drinks. - Flavoured milk actually contains 2 ½ teaspoons of total sugar per 100mL, but about 1 ½ teaspoons of this is the lactose which is already in the milk before flavour & sugar is added. Energy drinks, soft drink, and fruit drink are all loaded with added sugar – 2 ½ to 3 teaspoons of added sugar per 100mL, and don’t provide any nutrients our body needs to be healthy. These are drinks you should limit to having on just special occasions, if at all.
