Dairy milk vs. soy milk

I purchased some soy milk from the supermarket today to give it a try. It wasn't as bad as I had expected but I am left wondering if I should even bother with it.

I enjoy regular milk and am not lactose intolerant but have read all kinds of stories about how milk is bad for the human body (humans are the only species that drinks another animal's milk, milk causes man boobs, etc).

So will I gain/lose anything nutritionally by switching to soy milk instead of regular milk?

Any ATOTers drink soy milk by preference?

EDIT: Now with pollage
 
Now, I'm no fan of cow's milk, but IIRC it's soy that can potentially give you manboobies.

That said, soy milk is better for you.

That certainly doesen't mean that you can't be healthy and drink cow's milk, though.

It's a tossup. Most people on OT are going to say nay to the soymilk.
 
Soy milk isn't bad tasting, but the best tasting ones like Silk usually add sugar. So I just drink fat free milk normally (it's cheaper by the gallon too). And how could milk cause man man boobs? Growth hormones?

I drink silk sometimes because of the taste and NOT as a milk replacement...it frankly doesn't taste like milk...it tastes like creamy ciffeee to me
 
Soy can't give you man boobs because while the phytochemicals in it are estrogen-like, they aren't estrogen. And besides, men produce estrogen in small quantities anyways.

Agreed. I like both soy milk and regular milk, but I don't consider them interchangeable. I don't think cereal with soy milk would taste very good.

Does soy really raise estrogen? That would a lot.
 
I hate regular milk now. All I drink is soy milk. HEB brand is good, and so is Silk. The local grocery has Silk Enhanced for the same price as regular.
