Sweetened soy milk tastes lot better than milk, although I drink both. Soy milk sold in Chinese grocery stores are hell lot better than those sold in shoprite, etc. coz they're freshly made and good for only 10 days.

Hey soy milk is closest to Soya Bean Milk
Cow's Milk.. well I don't like the taste of it either.

But I heard alot of rumors of soy.. being dangerous if consumed in big quantity.
Nevertheless, if I had to choose Soy or Cow,
I'd go Soy.

you guys have no idea about soymilk... 🙁
 
eh americans and soy...trying to make it taste like milk. i grew up drinking the asian stuff.. like vitasoy. has its own taste, not bad. its just bean juice really. i dont see the point in putting it in cereal or coffee ..theres treated milk for the lactose intolerant in the milk isle. its got the enzymes u need to break it down. soy is not milk, trying to force one in the place of the other is a poor solution to me.
 
lactose free milk is friggen NASTY!!!!!!!
soy milk is pretty good, just make sure you get well filtered ones or it'll feel like there's sand in it..
soy milk can't really be compared to cow milk though. It only has around 3% calcium per cup vs 15% in cow milk..
 
I'm lactose intolerant too, (only took me ~10 years to figure it out😱). Was begining to think I had some deadly gastro intestinal problem, cut out dairy & I'm fine.

I use soy milk in my coffee & over breakfast cereal, it's not bad.

Lactaid works pretty well for me, but it's expensive & inconvenient. I'd like to try rice milk, but in my area I'd have to drive ~60 miles round trip to buy it🙁

I'd wager you absorb more calcium from soy milk than from cow milk anyday.

true yet most think its good for them cause the industry or commercial say its good for them. very few people can tolerate cowsmilk enzyme which are not formulated for human consumption. i drank milk alot during my childhood and had all kinds of stomach indigestion problems,from passing gas 24hrs a day to using the restroom quite often.
 
Soymilk is not an alternative to cowmilk if you are drinking it for calcium, it is only an alternative if you're drinking it for protein.
Also if you get a well filtered one that is sweetenend, it tastes pretty good.
The poorly filtered ones feel powdery and taste like crap in general.

You're right. There's far more calcium taken in from soy milk than cow/dairy.
Sure there's calcium in dairy milk, but the body can't absorb it thanks to the makeup of dairy itself, primarily the fats.

If you want calcium, you WON'T get it from dairy.... unless you consume so much of the stuff you're critically obese. Take calcium suppliments or eat a few almonds and you're far better off.
 
I drink Skim or 1% cow juice every day. If I have to pick an alternative, Rice Dream isn't that bad, but its still not milk to me.

Damnit, that rules me out for soy milk... 😛
 
I too am lactose intolerant, and I have tried numerous lataid milks, and soy milks... and the only stuff I like is the regular Silk brand Soy milk... that stuff is TEH good.

Lactaid milk is sickeningly sweet, and the other soy milks taste kinda powdery...

Lewis Black on Milk nowadays.

"Now you dont know. Because when you go to the grocery store, the milk aisle goes for fvckin ever. There's 1%, 2%, low-fat, skim... Acidophilus Milk, what the fvck are you talking about? Acidophilus Milk, milk doesnt need a friend. That sh!t belongs in the yogurt section.

Lactose Intolerant Milk, kiss my dick. If you're lactose intolerant, you cant drink milk. So whats in the fvckin' carton? Get it out of there. Get it away from my milk. It is talking to my milk and making it feel bad about itself.

Soy milk. There's no such thing as Soy Milk. It's soy juice. But they couldnt sell soy juice, so they called it soy milk. Because any time you say Soy Juice you actually start to gag. And they put soy milk in with my moo-cow-fvck milk. And it doesnt belong there because we all know there's no soy milk, because there's no soy titty, is there?"
