FAIRYUSER rated 14 months ago- Hemp milk? It's healthy and legal as hemp cereal Thursday, May 03, 2007 By Bob Batz Jr., Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Got milk? Soy milk makers follow hemp's lead Part of the health appeal of hemp milk is its naturally occurring omega fatty acids, as well as fiber. It's probably not a coincidence that soy milk makers are now offering soy milks with both. Silk just came out with Silk Plus Fiber with five grams of fiber and Silk Plus Omega-3 DHA with the vegetarian omega 3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Odwalla's new "Soy Smart" line (in chai, vanilla and chocolate) also includes omega 3 DHA. They're going to be so fortifying some Horizon Organic dairy milk, too. -- Bob Batz Jr. Oh, we got milk all right. In addition to whole, two-percent and one-percent fat, skim and super skim, we now also can choose to have organic milk, hormone-free milk, lactose-free milk, soy milks in a rainbow of flavors, rice milk, even almond milk. Add to the list of nondairy alternatives, with an emphasis on alternative, "hemp milk." The "milk," which just began to be sold this year, is made from the "nuts" or seeds of the industrial hemp plant, which is illegal for U.S. farmers to grow. That hasn't been allowed, except for an experimental stint in Hawaii, since the late 1950s. This though the seeds and fibers from the industrial plant contain only trace amounts of the psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, which is what makes the leaves and flowering tops of regular Cannabis sativa marijuana. A growing number of makers of hemp milk -- they use seeds from Canada, where hemp grows legally -- tout the health benefits of other substances in the THC-free drink, which is selling legally and briskly across the country

- I use hemp protein and hemp oil in my daily smoothies. Clearly an excellent SuperFood.

- Hemp...the everything plant.

- Is there anything hemp can't do? Not only does hemp provide omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, but the fibers are super durable and versatile. Our founding fathers grew hemp, why can't we?

- Hemp milk? Now I've seen everything. Maybe I'll just stick with soymilk.

- This is exciting news that hemp milk is making it into the marketplace as an alternative food choice! I love hemp butter, and hemp oil, and some hemp protein powders are excellent. Hemp has received such a bad rap (politically motivated reasons). Hemp milk is probably quite good and healthy too.

- I've never tried hemp milk but hemp ice cream is damn good!
