Advice

Homogenised? - Mon 28th Jan 2008
Hi, I was recently asked if Rice Dream was homogenised and pasteurised?

I can confirm that the product is both Homogenised and UHT, neither of which prevents a product from being called natural.

Homogenisation is carried out to provide an even distribution of particles throughout a liquid. In the case of cows milk this involves breaking down fat chains including saturated fats into smaller, more easily absorbed globules which causes concern to some people - since Rice Dream does not contain saturated fat this should not be an issue. It helps to ensure the added calcium is evenly dispersed.

UHT is used to kill bacteria and provide a 'shelf stable' product with a reasonable shelf life, it would not affect the body's ability to absorb Calcium. Heat treatment does not reduce the amount of Vitamin D present which aids the absorbtion of calcium by the body.

I hope this answers your questions.

Best wishes

Rice Milk is a dream - Thu 11th Oct 2007
I have been vegetarian for many years and recently I have become a vegan. The difference in my health has been amazing!
I have suffered from IBS for most of my life but since switching to rice milk (as well as Soya) I have notice a remarkably difference. I would strongly recommend this to everyone especially those trying to loose weight as cows milk is NO good and does the body more harm than good. Please give it a try you wont regret it!! :)
