Children who drink soy, rice or almond milk may end up shorter than children given cow’s milk, a new study suggests. Toronto researchers are reporting that the more non-cow’s milk children drink, the lower their height. For each daily cup of non-cow’s milk consumed, children were 0.4 cm shorter than dairy milk drinkers. At age three, the height difference between children who drank cow’s milk versus non-cow’s milk was 1.5 cm. Of those studied, 92 per cent consumed cow’s milk and 13 per cent non-cow’s milk daily.
