It's really all a matter of taste, try a few different ones to find the one you like the taste of best. rice milk has a nice taste but is quite thin and watery. Beware ones with added sugar etc. I drink mostly cow's milk but I do like oat milk, it has a nice consistency.

my family doctor said not to go on statins , my cholesterol level is 7.79. i have uncontrolled hypertension and she would rather work on my blood pressure than worry about the cholesterol. i end up in the hospital with hypertensive emergency and am now on 3 bp meds. i am 56 years old
