Milk vs Soy Milk

[Punt]

Whats the appeal of Soy milk compared to regular milk?

 

[variation]

mostly polyunsaturated fats in soy milk
high saturated fats in cow milk
and there are beneficial isoflavones in soy milk

Yup, what variation said....plus some folks just can't handle the lactose sugar in milk, and other folks have "issues" with consuming animal products. Aside from that, there is crap soymilk and good quality soymilk, so if definitely pays to read labels if you're gonna drink soymilk. IMHO most of the soymilk that tastes 'good' to a dedicated cow's milk drinker is in the crap category and should be treated like junk food.

I mix soy milk with my shakes - I can't tolerate regular milk - I use just the plain low fat soy milk - and I never heard it wasnt any good for you - I only hear good things about it.

There are a lot of anti-soy advocates out there. I don't know too much on the issue. Any enlightenment on the subject?

my gf loves soy milk. i tried it and it tasted too rich for my tastes. i grew up on skim.

soy miolk really tastes like ass on its own, and the only ones that taste remotely palatable are laden with sugar

fortunately i only ever mix it with protien shakes, and the sweetners i there make it taste quite nice (the brand of so i use is virtually carb free)

i still stress out over the test reducing aspect of it thouhg, so i try and get al nmy shakes in at day tie with 0.1%fat cow milk, and if i have to dink in the evening thats when i use soy

I don't think you honestly gave it a fair chance...didn't like it before you tasted it!

When I have non-soy milk now, it tastes really chemically and artificial. Soy milk is nice and creamy and doesn't taste like it's been fucked with...so step off my soy!

BTW, I like the vanilla "Silk" brand...it's organic.
