Yeah, almond milk is good too. The Rice Dream "Original" had absolutely nothing in it but brown rice and water. Period. The sweetness came from the brown rice itself since you can make a very nice sweet syrup from brown rice.

However, they just couldn't leave well enough alone. They have since "enriched" it with various other stuff. I'll have to take a look, see what it is, and report back.

It's still a lot better for my innards than milk, because milk coats the stomach and intestinal walls in such a way as to considerably interfere with the body's ability to absorb nutrients.

As for calcium, you can get all the calcium you need by eating a good variety of raw greens. Guess how an elephant or a buffalo or an elk gets his calcium (and protein) to build those big strong bones and powerful muscles? By eating fresh growing green stuff.
