Soy Milk

I really really like tons of Soy products but milk has been the one thing I juat haven't been able to replace. Soy milks of all kinds just seem like turgid mud water to me

Vitasoy Vanilla is the best, creamiest, least beany soy milk there is. God bless Vitasoy.

Dean Foods owns Silk. They are one of (if not the) largest dairly companies in the US of A. Being vegan, I don't drink Silk so that i don't support the dairy industry.

you're thinking of phytoestrogens, and that is pretty much a myth. phytoestrogens are similar enough to estrogen to be accepted by estrogen receptors in the body, but this effect is weak, and not only that, it may actually block estrogen uptake in the body to a small degree. (yes, men produce estrogen too.) i wouldn't worry about it.

oh yeah, and vitasoy is definitely the best, but you should also try almond milk if you don't like the soy. blue diamond has a chocolate almond milk that tastes just like chocolate milk, except without the foul, rotten mouth feeling you taste after drinking cow milk.

-i dig 8th continent

8th Continent tastes great. It freaks me out, though, that its parent company is DuPont Chemical - seriously. They also admit, in a roundabout way, to using genetically modified ingredients. Plenty of other companies do, too, of course, but if you're looking at soy milk for health reasons, maybe 8th Continent needs to be second guessed.

I'm a big fan of Silk Chocolate, especially in coffee.

Lately, I've tried soy and almond milk from Pacific, and both were pretty good. The almond was really sweet, of course, but I don't remember if it had lots of sugar in it as well. Pacific seems like an okay company.

I like soy milk, but stay away since the day I drank a whole half gallon of Chocolate Silk and was rather constipated as a result...

the price of milk went up...
they supposedly wasn't changin enough...
i am still buyin milk though...

soy milk if it wasn't for lots of sugar it would probably make you

It strikes me as funny that this is brought up so much.

It's not that other species won't drink it because it's gross, it's because they'd get their ass handed to them by the angry mother they tried to get the milk from.
Stick some milk in front of you average cat and see what happens.

Thanks for the tip will try Vitasoy next time I go shopping.

I like 8th Continent.

But I've never had the real thing, so I can't tell you if it tastes like moomilk.

I only drink expired cow milk. It has to be at least eight days off to have the proper clotting and color changing.
Remeber that old sci-fi/cop flick 'Alien Nation'. The aliens would drink expired milk to catch a buzz. It doens't really get you drunk, I just find it delicious.

I love rice dream. mmm.

I read somewhere that if a woman drinks more than a cup of soymilk a day, every day, it can mess with her cycle. Damn soymones.

Old thread bump.

What are some of the classic symptoms of soy allergies? I recently started using soymilk in my organic cereal (in addition to eating dry roasted soybeans and fresh soybeans), and now I have this wierd rash that is freaking me out big time.

there is no such thing as soy milk. it's soy juice. but they couldn't sell soy juice, because every time you say it, you actually gag a little.

soy'll get you gay. for serious.

Yup, it's soy juice. Unless someone is milking a soy bean somewhere. In which case, they've got issues.

Ah, yes, apparently this is one of those answers I'm going to have to wait a while for. Damn my need for instant gratification.

From here

Well, I was hoping to hear first hand from someone who has had those kinds of reactions before. I already saw the WebMD page, but thanks for trying to help.

Why yes, yes I have.
Would you prefer pigs on tigers or tigers on pigs ?

have you tried rice milk? chainlink, if you care, i take back everything bad i ever said about you. those are funny pictures. i think milk is milk, in that it has calcium, potassium and magnesium, regardless of the mammal it comes from, no? everything any young mammal needs to grow strong bones, muscles and tissues. as adults, we need it less and less, and there are healthier sources of all three. then as we get older, we need more of them again, but nothing can stop bone-degenration. insert quip here.
