    alot of times, soymilk has like half the calories as nonfat milk.

    and less sugar too.

    and despite all that, I think soy tastes better. :)

    I always loved milk, skim milk, iced cold. When I switched to a vegan diet and was without milk for a while, my constant companion, stomach pain, disappeared. Totally! I would have a little milk and the pain would return. I can't believe it took me 44 years to discover this correlation! Even very small amounts of milk (like just the small amount in a handful of M&Ms) causes severe pain.

    I drink vanilla soy milk in my lattes, vanilla almond milk in my hot tea and to make my breakfast oatmeal, unsweetened almond milk for drinking or on cereal, and occasionally coconut milk. We generally have quite the milk choice in our fridge. :smile:

    Soy milk is gross. I drink almond or coconut milk because dairy upsets my stomach.

    I used to drink it for the following reasons:
    1. I wanted extra soy products to help with the symptoms of menopause
    2. Lower fat and more protein for less calories than semi-skimmed milk
    3. Quite liked the taste.

    Unsweetened almond milk is better.

    Soy milk is good for women but not too good for men.

    It's contain a very high level of estrogen. So,.... Well do I need to say more?
    Lower the fertility, More fat in the chest area etc..etc..

    You can find many articles on the web regarding that...
    It's NOT dangerous.... it's just not the best for guys that's all.
    I take sometime... It's not bad...Just don't over do it .

    For girls....No problem at all :)

    I would beg to differ on this quote of good for women but not men. Soy milk and products that contain soy can affect women badly too. they do me as I have a thyroid issues and PCOS both conditions are know to have ill effects from soy products
