soy milk in most common forms has just as much fat as as whole, and at least as much, if not more sugar.
also, soy is an allergen whereas lactose is an irritant or not digestible to some. difference: soy can kill you or at least cause an immune response.
i love sushi and chinese food, but i am allergic to soy. i can get by with a little when i eat it, but i work in a coffee shop in hippie/yuppie boulder and the soy factor is not pleasant.
plus in order to make many foods 'healthier' animal or mineral oils have been replaced with soy, which makes me feel like and break out in hives.
at least im not dead yet! :D :rolleyes: | |
that's why i drink plain soy milk. no sugar added. the fat in soy milk are omega-3 fatty acid, which is good for you. cow's milk probably has omega-6 and some worse fats. remember that calcium and other nutrients in cow's milk are not easily absorbed by the human body.
it also seems we're the opposite. i'm lactose intolerant which means it doesn't kill me but it comes back out the same form it went in. in my experience, white people should stick with milk and east asians should stick with soy products. there is no single product that will be healthy for all genetic types. |

| I like soy "milk" but its more expensive than milk so i don't get it. Most soy milk has a good amount of sugar in it, thats why it tastes good. It also has hormonal side effects like depressing thyroid function. i'm sure its fine in moderation |

All right, first of all, let's please agree on the fact that soy is an animal. |

In regard to the milk argument....
1. an opaque white or bluish-white liquid secreted by the mammary glands of female mammals, serving for the nourishment of their young.
3. any liquid resembling this, as the liquid within a coconut, the juice or sap of certain plants, or various pharmaceutical preparations.
If it is a liquid that resembles the secretions from a mammary gland, it is called milk. AKA coconut milk.
Meh... I drink maybe 1 litre of cow milk per month, if that. I don't really like it. |
Coconut JUICE! :stongue:
I like cow's milk. In my house, we drink about 2 gallons a week (4 people, mind you). |
