Re: soy and almond beverages, formerly Swedish coffee company, etc.

[Guest guest]

One of my adult daughters is lactose intolerant and allergic to the cassein in milk. She loves: soy "milk", almond "milk", and especially vanilla almond"milk" and chocolate soy "milk." It is hard to imagine "milking" either a legumeor a tree nut--but the availability of these products enables her to enjoy food,enjoy life. She loves the vanilla almond beverage and/or the chocolate soyone in her coffee--all our children are like Hans and me--coffee-lovers!I still remember the formerly Swedish coffee company, Gevalia--craved their chocolate raspberry coffee. Now it is owned by someone in ourMidwest--not nearly so good--not that coffee is grown either in Sweden,nor in our largely Swedish-settle Midwest.I still have my original Gevalia drip

I don't have celiac disease. Thankfully! But I am lactose intolerant, and I can tell you that the soy products are not half bad. Especially the vanilla or chocolate flavored soy milk (especially in coffee...). Although, mostly I use the lactose free (regular) milk products.love/Reb>> Way back in the 1990s--I can no longer find the article on the web--> there was a fascinating story of a Scotland Yard Investigation of a > series of break-ins and thefts, no finger prints.
