Dr. Derek,

"I was disappointed in your response regarding the amount of protein in Almond Milk. Yes, almonds contain a lot of fat but they also have about 6 grams of protein per ounce. Almonds also have a good amount of fiber and a lot of calories. Why is it that Almond milk only contains 1 gram of fiber, 1 gram of protein, and 40 calories per cup? It looks like from the nutrition panel that Almond milk is mostly filtered water with some vitamins thrown in."
