of course not! :)

For all rules there are exceptions and remember, my
recommendations are guidelines, not commandments.

IN certain categories, you may not find a product that meets, or
exceeds all my guidelines. So, the next best thing to do, is find the
one(s) that come the closest. And, you can decide, on which of the
guidelines you are willing to compromise the most on.

Almonds are naturally higher in fat, though they are not high in
saturated fats, the fats you want to avoid. So, of course, the milk
made from them will be higher in fat. I would be more concerned
with the excess sodium, than the higher fat, if the fats werent
saturated or hydrogenated or trans.

While I havent seen the label on it yet, I heard there are some new
almond milk products out called Almond Breeze, that I heard had
better "numbers" on them. I dont know for sure, but I will look
into them and let you know.

In Health
