Jefferson Pediatrician Talks to WHYY Radio About Milk Alternatives

A recent segment on WHYY Radio's "Fit" series explores alternatives to milk including soy, rice, almond and hemp and asks experts if these alternatives contain the same nutrients as cow's milk for growing children.

Jefferson pediatrician Tara Berman, MD, tells parents, "There are very healthy ways for a child to grow up vegan but it's important to be knowledgeable about your child's diet and to read labels when it comes to buying non-dairy products to ensure that they are getting enough of those important elements for a child's growth."
