Yes soy has photo estrogen. In women it replaces the estrogen that we naturally produce and lowers our estrogen levels. In men it increases their estrogen so ... man boobs. Not sure about the dementia part though.
I drink unsweetened almond milk but I am lactose intolerant.
No it doesn't, if that was true men in countries where soy consumption is high would have bouncing breasts.3 -

It's phyto-estrogen, not "photo estrogen." And your summary of the impact it has on men and women isn't accurate.0 -
I usually drink 1% milk or unsweetened Silk Almond Milk.0

For soy milk, I prefer Silk and So Nice over So Good.
I ALWAYS buy the vanilla soy milk. But I'm not concerned about sugars... and I don't have it every day.
ETA: If I weren't allergic to cow's milk then I'd just stick with that instead of any substitute.0 -

So you could try rice milk, soy milk, hemp milk, coconut milk, and the list likely goes on. All of them are just attempts to simulate milk, nothing is intrinsically healthier about them although they tend to be lower calorie.
Some people told me that regular dairy milk is high in fat and calories so if I substitute milk with soy or coconut milk instead they say I'm saving my calories and my fat content
I suggest you look at the nutrition label instead of listening to what "some people" tell you. Compare regular and skim with optional substitutes, and see which fits better into your diet. And take into account what you actually like, because sometimes a few extra calories is worth it.
Is regular milk considered ''unclean''? or processed? I'm trying to go for a clean diet overall
it is processed, so dirty, and should be avoided like the plague...1 -

It is milk. The only processing is pasteurization and skimming off the cream to get the various fat percentages. I would consider it clean, but then I don't eat clean and have no intention of doing so.
may i ask how do you lose weight without eating clean?? Research I've done from trainers and youtube videos etc. they all say you will not lose weight unless you eat clean.
Most of us lose weight by eating fewer calories than we need to maintain our weight. I don't eat "clean"; I eat the same foods as I have also eaten, but in smaller portions.
but i thought a calories isnt just a calorie? like if you only eat 200 calories in lets say french fries and 200 calories in veggies, you will lose weight witht he veggies cause the calories in the fries are bad and make you gain weight

I'm trying to find a healthy milk substitute but I'm not sure which kind or brand to buy lol.
I can't have almond milk though because of allergies.
But I do love soy and coconut milk but how do I find the healthiest kind? Should I buy the canned or the carton kind? lol What about the vanilla soy is that healthier or is that too much added sugar?
Also if I were to buy regular dairy milk is it better to get whole fat, 2% fat, etc.?
Thanks!

I like to sub my milk for a nice dark Milk Stout. Nothing better over a bowl of Lucky Charms. Magically delicious.1

If even actual estrogens or testosterones in food impacted blood estrogen/testosterone in any significant way, people who need hormone therapy would not need hormone therapy.2 -
