Does anyone know what rice milk is?
Rice milk is a kind of grain milk processed from rice. It is mostly made from brown rice and commonly unsweetened, the sweetness in most rice milk varieties is generated by a natural enzymatic process, dividing the carbohydrates into sugars, especially glucose. Some rice milk kinds may nevertheless be sweetened with sugarcane syrup or other sugars. Compared with cow’s milk, it contains more carbohydrates, but does not contain significant amounts of calcium or protein, and no cholesterol or lactose. Commercial brands of rice milk, however, are often fortified with vitamins and minerals, including calcium, vitamin B12, vitamin B3, and iron. While many people are allergic to dairy and soy, rice milk remains an alternative as a very low (to non) allergenic milk. As a vegan I use a a variety of soy and rice milk in day to day cooking and eating. Your boyfriends friend will be using it to loose weight because of its low-cholesterol properties. But he’ll need more than just rice milk to help
