I LOVE SOY MILK!

ITS WAY BETTER THAN COWS MILK!

HAS MORE PROTEIN TOO! I MEAN I HAVE OTHER WAYS TO GET MY PROTEIN BUT VANILLA SOY MILK BEATS THE OTHER OPTIONS.

I ONCE READ IN AN ARTICLE THAT STORE BOUGHT COW MILK (non organic) IS ABSOLUTELY BAD!
THIS IS GOING TO SOUND GROSS BUT SUPPOSEDLY IT HAS PUSS!
IT WAS READING THIS FROM A PETA THING THAT WAS IN MY BIOLOGY/ENVIRONMENT CLASS.
SUPPOSEDLY THAT COWS NIPPLES GET SO WORKED AND SO OVER MILKED THAT PUSS BUILDS INSIDE AND WELL SOME PORTION OF THE MILK IS PUSS.

EVER SINCE I READ THAT I HAVE BEEN DISGUSTED!
I BUY VANILLA SOY MILK. (THE OTHER FLAVORS ARE WEIRD TASTING)
IF YOU LIKE COW MILK SPEND THE EXTRA $1.00 ON ORGANIC. I REALLY DOUBT YOU WANT COW PUSS IN YOUR MORNING CEREAL.

I live in Greece and soy milk it's a relatively new trend here. I have tried an organically made soy+rice powder milk that's imported from Germany. It has a mild sweet aftertaste due to rice powder ingredients. Since I developed a lactose intolerance due to my meds, I am going to switch to that type of milk when eating cereal.

Soy milk? Revolting stuff. With a flavour and texture not unlike that of over the counter antacids, soy milk is truly an abomination.

It amuses Matty the Damned that vegans, people with allergies, those in search of "natural organic diets", religious weirdos and other undesirable sorts sing the praises of this noxious fluid. Obviously they've never seen it being made. The things that one has to do to a soy bean to turn it into "milk" would cause them no end of grief.

Hmmm, guess drinking milk or soy does bring out the BEAST (Moo) or NUTS (Beans) in you.  ;D

Actually, making of soy milk is pretty straight forward as I have already mentioned and provided the method earlier in this thread. Contamination of food applies to any food if it were meant that way by unscrupulous manufacturers, so it's not really correct to just pick on milk and soy alone.

Incidentally, it's a cyber known that continuous CAPS are considered shouting if not just used to highlight an expression. The forum and the usual good people here are simply stating an observed goodwill to make reading easier on the eye so no need to turn a simple thread into a battle ground. We have enough violence in this world already, so leave those poor cows and beans alone, WILL YA !!??? :D :-* 8)

Hey Merlin,

I never thought I'd be grateful to see a thread about soy products get back on topic, but there ya go. ;)

I once had the grand misfortune to see the commercial production of soy products including "milk". It was horrific. Hydrogenisation is truly a revolting thing. I'm sure that it's different when you strain the extract of organic soy beans soaked in the purest water from the cave of the Bhutanese ice leopard or what-the-hell-ever but that factory visit fixed me on soy.

Oh and the truly horrifying taste of the stuff.

Yes, I drink Silk. Make sure you get the one that has 15 grams of carbs or less. Some brands contain too many carbs and fat. The one I drink has 3 grams of fat and 10 grams of carbs. I also purchase low fat tofu and marinate it with garlic, parsley. turmeric, paprika, and dry mustard. Then I broil it in the toaster oven.

Hey Nikki,

Don't get me wrong, but how in the world do you get too much fat from soy milk and tofu? They have little or no fats to begin with and no animal fats - or animal proteins for that matter.

Just wondering.

I took three classes with ADA beginners, intermediate, and advance for insulin pump wearers. During our discussion a student inquirered about soy. The nutritionist  had about 10 brands of soy milk (west soy, silk, Whole foods brand, etc) and tofu .She distributed the containers for us to read and yes some brands have more fat and carbs than others. And yes silk makes a unsweetened brand and a nonfat brand as well as west soy and a few others. Low fattofu and soy is partically good for those with reflux.

Hi All,

I don't want to beat a dead soy bean, but there is more at stake here than one's own taste.

"The hormones in cow's milk are potentially far more harmful than those in plants", says Dr. Justine Butler

http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1839434,00.html

which rebuts this- http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,,1828088,00.html

There is a fascinating story here where health, politics and the power and profit of corporations mix.  You can see some of this on the wikipedia site for soy milk- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soy_milk

This would make a great book or article...

Best,
Drew

Soy milk tastes awful IMHO. Fortunately a lot of treated lactosefree dairy products have become available in the last few years which have almost the same taste as the non-treated, from-the-cow-product. Since I don't have any ethical problems with dairy products I have no need for the soy or oat-based substitutions.

Hi Tex
I'm glad you found a substitute to cows milk. But, as with all foods and beverages, its important to know what you are drinking.  Specifically, that, in itself, soy beans do not contain much calcium and it is ADDED as a supplement to the soy milk.  Reading labels is a good idea to make sure it is calcium fortified.  My partner, Kurt who is experiencing all the problems associated with lipodystrophy has been taking calcium supplements for awhile now.  He is not lactose intolerant, but drinking milk ( well, not so much drinking it as using it on cereal)  does not provide him with enough calcium.
Check with your nutritionist to see if you are getting the proper amount of calcium.
Good luck.

Joel
modified to add: I checked with Kurt and he is taking 600 IU of calcium daily, as a supplement, because he has osteoporosis.

Soy foods are the only plant-based complete proteins. One cup of unfortified soymilk contains almost 7 grams of protein, 4 grams of carbohydrate, 4½ grams of fat, and no cholesterol. Although soymilk supplies some B vitamins, it's not a good source of B12, nor does it provide a significant amount of calcium. Since many people substitute soy beverages for cow's milk, manufacturers have offered fortified versions. These varieties may include calcium and vitamins E, B12, and D, among other nutrients. If you choose soymilk, read labels carefully to be sure you're getting enough of these important nutrients.
