Now I love the idea of a vegan or at least a vegetarian diet. My own diet is far off being vegetarian these days and I really enjoy vegan food (especially in Bali). But what I don't love about 'veganism' is some of the dumb shit that, lesser-educated, potentially bias vegans say.
Whenever I see dairy yogurt getting slammed because of it's 'bad saturated fat content' only for Coyo to be proposed as a healthier alternative I really scratch my head.
Like hello guys, the Coyo you push as a 'healthy' alternative, is not only worse off in terms of Calorie density and protein content. But it's basically all saturated fat.
It's worth noting that saturated fat is not bad in small to moderate amounts. But too much is almost certainly not a good idea and unsaturated fats should almost certainly make up the majority of our total fat intake. But that aside... The balance of robust evidence shows dairy is not only fine for health, but it's also actually been associated with better long term health. [4,5,6,7] and most importantly dairy might help you get a bit more jacked, and maybe a bit leaner. [1,2,3]
So considering the above, unless you avoid dairy yogurt for ethical or preference reasons, Coyo is far from a 'better' or 'best' alternative.
