Researchers at the Institute of Food Safety and Health, a team-up between Illinois Tech and the US Food and Drug Administration, looked at the levels of magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and selenium in almond, cashew, coconut, hemp, oat, pea, rice, and soy milks. They found that only pea and soy milk had higher levels of magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and selenium than cow's milk. Pea milk had the highest, with 50 percent more phosphorus, zinc, and selenium, but soy milk did contain greater levels of magnesium.
