We excluded plant milks that were sweetened, flavored, (e.g., vanilla, chocolate), or made from a blend of base ingredients. Dairy and soy milks reflect average of whole, low fat and fat-free products. Nutrient data for multiple products of the same milk type was averaged when standard reference not available; see Supplemental See Table S3 for absolute values
