I used to buy soy milk when I was a vegetarian, I continue buying soy milk when I stopped being a vegetarian. I don't drink soy milk alone, I only have soy milk with cereal & when I used to cook, I used soy milk. I thought soy milk suppose to be healthy then regular milk. I read milk has alot of chemicals, people put bad antibiotics into animals on the farm, like cows, I also read children started puberty early, cuz of hormones, estrogen & I think other stuff. I think things have changed now in milk, I don't know what to believe, I want to buy cereal again, but groceries prices can be a little scary for me, like one apple is $1.50, but it's a big apple.

Soy milk contains estrogen which is a sexual hormone that women are supposed to have more of in their bodies. Estrogen is generally worse for men to have than women.



right on the money. not so good for men either.
almond milk and coconut water/milk blend is possibly a cleaner choice.

I rarely drink any kind of milk outside that which I add to certain teas, but I do prefer soya milk to the cow's milk variety. I believe I might be very mildly intolerant of dairy products in large quantities but in all fairness I prefer the taste of soya. Sadly as an environmental science student and a vegetarian for over a decade, it burns me to say the soya business can be highly unsustainable and quite damaging to the environment, also bringing with it certain unethical economic disadvantages: my 'beef' so to speak with soya is definitely more grounded in this rather than any questions raised concerning it's nutritional properties.

It's true, it will make you grow breasts in large amounts.

If someone has possible underactive thyroid, soy products are a big no-no as they contribute to the hypo functioning if the condition is already there.

At the group home on the grounds of a mental hospital I stayed in, we made crepes (a type of thin pancake) out of soy milk, margarine, other stuff. I called them "craps" instead of "crepes" because of the fake milk, fake butter, and because my signature holes were in them too.

What an absolute trainwreck. You'd probably be healthier eating mcdonalds.

We had names for all the food at that facility, LOL. From the decaffeinated dishwater to the roast barf to the fake steak to the soapy salmon to the putrid puree to the vile veal.
