Spend any time watching health influencers on social media, and you might be convinced that these commonly used oils are downright poisonous.

That soy feta or cashew camembert can be a culinary godsend when you eat a plant-based diet or you limit or avoid dairy foods. But is vegan cheese healthy, actually? While it’s often assumed that nondairy alternatives are better for you because they’re made from plants, the health halo isn’t always deserved. “Many people assume that anything labeled ‘vegan’ is automatically healthy, but that’s not always the case,” says Sue James, RDN, owner of Pinnacle Health and Wellness LLC.
