Calcium: Natural Soy Milk vs. Regular Milks?

Question

I've recently become lactose intolerant or so I believe because I get cramps after a glass of regular milk so I had to change to soy milk.

I buy soy milk from a small time store that makes it daily so I don't believe they add anything (except some sugar to make it drinkable) to the soy milk to increase the calcium it contains so I would like to know if soy milk naturally contains calcium or not.


And how much calcium is in a half gallon of natural soy milk and how much is in regular cow milk.

Is it a discernable difference when I am trying to achieve height?

Answer 1

There are only two reasons which I've found to support humans drinking cow's milk. We have grown up hearing that it's good for us and we've grown accustomed to the taste and texture. There is absolutely no nutrition that can not be obtained elsewhere, minus the negatives. Calcium seems to be the major claim for milk. It can be found elsewhere in green vegetables, almonds, and many other sources. Where do you think the cows obtain the calcium to put into the milk? Where do other larger animals (elephants, horses, deer, whales, etc) get calcium? Why we continue to drink cow's milk laced with growth hormones, antibiotics, and who knows what else is beyond me.

Since I've given up drinking milk about 5 years ago my health has greatly improved. I suffer fewer allergy problems, asthma and breathing problems are greatly reduced, I'm sleeping better, and I have more energy.

Do some research online and decide for yourself.

Have you tried goats milk, when I was a baby they said that I could not have cows milk, they switched me over to goats milk, PS. as I got older it put lots of hair on my body
