what is it really with soy milk?

Question

some say it is very healthy.............. and others say it is not good for the body............. hmmph.. confusing.. i don't get it

Answer 1

It is healthy. People that say it's not healthy advocate for the multi-billion dollar dairy industry. And I'm sure you already know how bad cow's milk is for us. Our bodies were not designed to consume any animal's milk. However, some people are very allergic to soy products and should therefore try other non-dairy milks such as almond or rice milk.

For your reference, try reading John Robbins book "The Food Revolution". You'll find it very thought provoking and full of well researched facts.

Yes, it does have estrogen in it. But the quantity is so small that it doesn't have an impact on your hormones. It does not make men homosexual as the guy wrote above. My boyfriend and I have been drinking soy milk regularly for over 2 years. They have great flavors now if you don't like it plain.

Answer 2

Yes it can be very confusing! Soy, in and of itsself, is a healthy product. However, many of the processes in which it is is broken down for use in food products, makes it unhealthy. If you want to use soy, stick with the whole beans. Or read labels, and stay away from words like hydrolized.

Answer 3

I love chocolate soy milk! It is the best out of the three =]]

Answer 4

It increases estrogen production in men and it's certainly not healthy for boys to drink--some people even think it contributes to homosexuality when consumed by pregnant women.

Answer 5

people have been drinking cow's milk for centuries... but of course they all died. But I'd guess that very few of them died of the milk. Life's too short to drink soy!

Answer 6

of course it is good, it is high in protein and fibre.
Where do u think the vegetarians get their protein most from, not from the meat off course.
Try to make it yourself, it is easy.

Answer 7

Its not really.

Answer 8

tastes like sick
