#2TL;DR: Oatly (oat milk) is primarily sugar and canola oil. Both are bad in large quantities.

#3> Little Oatly in the south of Sweden
Oatly is owned by a Chinese company so it's not very Swedish anymore. They claim bullshit like cow milk is bad and spread a lot of vegan propaganda.
It's a really crap company with crap interests.

It also has oats, though only 10%.

#5Great write up on debunking oatly's "health benefits". But fails to mention the the moral reasons to choose oat milk over cow's milk.
TBF lot of the meat replacements are plagued by similar problems. [1]

Cow's milk is horribly bad for you.

The same can be said about milk - it's just sugar and fat, suspended in water. All 3 are bad in large quantities.

Oatley has loads of different varieties. The sugar content in the barista one is low enough that I can drink 3 flat whites a day and stay in Ketosis.

I find it kinda hilarious that despite this Oatly is very popular in vegan/new age/alternative circles. If I was a vegan I would rather drink organic soy milk.

Exactly what I had in mind.
The article does not mention cow milk's health implications, and only focuses on debunking Oatly's alleged health benefits. This creates the same "Obscure the Truth" effect the article opens with, giving the impression that there's nothing wrong with cow milk.
If both options are equally unhealthy (which is at the minimum the biased impression the article gives by not discussing cow milk), at the minimum the moral one should be chosen.
