Soy Milk

[Gwyne]

People go on and on about the goodness of Soy milk, I think it tastes horrible and also dont think it can be that good as its so modified and not really all that natural. Any advice would be great- thanks.

Soy milk is lovely if you drink So Good or Alpro Soya, I admit own brands and UHT soya milk taste rank! I can't drink cow's milk anymore and have forgotten what it tastes like. as far as I know, Soya beans are a naturally occuring product and the rest is made up of water mainly I think. They add calcium to it, you must be sure to shake the carton before every use to disperse the calcium properly. Go Soya!

I agree that the only decent tasting Soya milk products are So Good or Alpro Soya.  As Clarabel82 says the own brands are dreadful.  I have changed to Soya as Cows milk makes me ill and the doctor recommended it as being a natural form of oestrogen. 

I really like the above two brands on cereal and they make excellent porridge.  Not very nice as a drink though.

I tried it for the phyto oestrogens. To me it tastes like pond water. I figure if my body is telling me that it tastes that bad, my body can't need it. Yes I tried So Good and Alpro.

I do agree with Woofgang.  I you hate anything then it will do you no good whatsoever.  I know all the benefits of bananas but I hate them and a mouthfull would make me throw up!

my mums a vegan and can't drink milk anyway, but she drinks rice milk as an alternative and loves it, could be worth a try?
