Back to the healthy aspects of soy milk. Besides the extra protein and fiber, the biggest benefit in soy milk are the isoflavones. Sounds complex, but basically isoflavones are actually chemicals very similar to the hormone estrogen. Isoflavones are connected to a whole host of health issues, with the most prevant being the prevention of many cancers, heart disease, osteoporosis and more. Berkeley Wellness Letter has an excellent article on soy isoflavones that can explain more.
Soy milk isn't fat-free, though some people think it is (I suppose because its made from beans). Soy milk does have a bit more fat than 2% cow's milk, but none of the nasty cholesterol (of which there is approximately 20mg per cup, in 2% cow's milk).
The largest downfall of soy milk is the lack of calcium. Soy milk has only about a quarter of the calcium, compared to cow's milk. Many soy milk manufacturers are adding calcium to their products, but studies show that it is not as healthful as naturally-occuring calcium. Thankfully, calcium is easily obtainable from other sources such as sardines, almonds, many beans, and several varieties of green leafy vegetables (like kale and collard greens). Of course, if you are able to handle dairy products, you can get your calcium from yogurt and cheese.
I suppose when it comes to adding soy milk to one's coffee or tea, it might seem like a moot point considering the quantity. But when it comes to your health, you should make every drop count.
haha potfest lol..I really doubt it would affect you lol..enjoy your soy milk..

| that was a good read thanks. in my mind i thought it may make me grow breasts or some thing. the fat free i knew about. it does contain more sugar then milk. since im not big on sugar then its ok. for sardines im kewl their i eat that straight out the can with a bit of hot sauce be for a work out every other day or so. |
