with more of a lifestyle trend of dieting.
 Milk is marketed towards children aged from
toddler years to preteen.
 Soymilk and other milk substitutes are
marketed towards adults.

It is clear that these two industries differ in a
sense where one is considered “healthier”, and
one is more “familiar”. Although familiar is
easier to live with, high blood cholesterol is
not.
