I've heard so many rumors about soymilk-it's a miracle super healthy food, it's a terribly misseen food containing toxins and every good idea about it is a lie from manufacterers. Does anyone know the truth?

There are a lot of incorrect answers to this question.
Soy milk has been used by Asian cultures for centuries. As well tofu and other soy products. With out any problem.
Please be aware that much of the "problems" with soy are being "found" by the dairy industry. Since milk sales are down and soy sales are up.
Yes - there is a problem with Genetically Engineered Soy. It is unnatural to us. Just as other genetically engineered products are. But genetically engineered corn works for the dairy industry so they don't complain about it.
Make sure any soy you buy is NON-GMO - meaning not genetically modified.
There are more toxins in milk and meat. People dying of milk and meat consumption left and right. But no red flags being waived there. In fact, our government has made it illegal to waive a red flag.

As a vegan who beverages/eats a honest quantity of soymilk, i grow to be somewhat worried when I heard some thing concerning the dangers so regarded into it. i won't be able to bear in mind the acceptable quantity you had to drink on a daily basis even though it grow to be a ridiculously severe quantity. So i does no longer subject too a lot. i think of there are some threads in this on the veggieboards talk board. you're able to desire to connect that and verify it out. maximum folk there are great aspects and sturdy human beings to talk to.

I don't see why people are so obsessed with the "evils of soy". It's a bean. A harmless little bean. I eat soy products all the time and nothing bad's happened to me.
Oh, and that guy who said soy milk is a "deadly poison"? What would you expect coming from "vegetariansareevil.com"?

Regarding the thyroid issue: Soy is only a problem if you already have thyroid issues. It can aggravate HYPOthyroidism (not HYPERthyroidism, as posted above).
Here are some articles on soy:

No, it isn't. It is not like cow's milk, and it is better than cow's milk.
I have drunk soy milk regularly for 20 years. I have not any health problems whatsoever. Please, don't believe the crap about toxins or thyroids. Try it yourself. It is largely just water and soybeans.

I consider Soy Milk to be a deadly poison.
It nearly killed me.
I am lactose intolerant, so was drinking it daily with my breakfast cereal prior to working out in the gym. It nearly destroyed my thyroid. I ended up with advanced hyperthyroidism and spent two weeks in a hospital. I am still being medicated as it is a chronic illness.
Trust me, you do not want thyroid disease. Don't drink soy.
Soy is known to damage your thyroid among other things, and it will make your face puffy and fat looking. It will also cause your body to store more fat due to the high amounts of isoflavones - which are like female hormones and will raise your body's estrogen production.

do not drink soy milk it is very bad for you, it does contain toxins, even though the taste is good, it is very bad for your health. drink skim milk if you are not allergic to it
