About this episode

This episode reveals the hidden truths about almond milk, including its low almond content and environmental consequences.

You switched to almond milk to be healthy, but have you been sold a lie? Your favorite "healthy" drink might only contain 2% almonds, and its production is fueling a devastating water crisis in California and contributing to a tragic, annual bee die-off. In this episode, we uncover the dirty secret hiding in your almond milk. We'll expose the "2% scam," investigate the shocking environmental cost of almond farming—from draining precious water reserves to its deadly impact on honeybees—and look at the chemical cocktail of additives used to create that "milky" texture. But it's not all bad news. We'll also show you how to take back control by becoming a label detective and, most importantly, how to make your own delicious, creamy, and truly healthy almond milk at home with just two ingredients.
