This revert was justified because the content written is not what the CDC site says, and the second source used is totally off-topic. The editor had written " The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends only serving soy milk to children between the ages of 1-12 years-of-age, because most of the other plant-based milks fail the proper nutritional threshold for maintaining growth." 1) The CDC site does not address children 1-12 years, but rather infants under 12 months being weaned from breastfeeding. Fortified soy milk is discussed as a suitable cow milk substitute for children over 12 months. Although the CDC site is dated Feb 2022 and specifies fortified soy milk as a suitable cow milk substitute for children over 12 months, other major retail plant milks in the United States and Canada over the past few years (oat, almond, coconut) are all fortified with some combination of protein, B vitamins, vitamin D and minerals. 2) Editor RomanGrandpa chose to use this case report, which is both off-topic and unusable as a preliminary case report on only 3 people.

Suggested terminology used in this article could be considered biased.
"They suggest that children between 12 and 24 months may consume fortified soy milk, but not other non-dairy milks such as almond, oat and rice, which are deficient in key nutrients" is inflammatory without explaining what they "key nutrients" are intended for. It just disparages without educating or informing. " to support healthy growth and development in this age range" (or something to this effect) could possibly be used.
The description/label "imitation" has been considered by proponents of plant-based alternatives to dairy to be "disparaging" ("...the Plant-Based Foods Association stated the word "imitation" was disparaging..."). Perhaps "alternative" would be a better description or label. See "Labeling and terminology" for the back-and-forth between legal definitions and labeling.
