Tofu, soy sauce, edamame, miso: I'm entirely cool with all of these, as eaten in moderation. But I think the idea that cow, goat, or sheep milk-- a product taken straight from the animal and delivered to you with just a little heating (and I'm talking happy animals on grass pastures, not industrial milk) is terrible and substituting "milk" made from ground beans, water, and chemicals is better is absurd. Ab-surd.
There's a lot of studies out there to back me up. Soy milk messes with your chemicals! It ups estrogen levels and promotes cancer! But frankly, there's a study for everything in the entire world, so I'm not listening to either side of the experts on this one.
I'm going with my gut, which says:
A milk made from beans ain't right.

First off, people need to stop calling it soy Milk. Milk comes from teats. This is soy JUICE.
I mean come on, I am allergic to milk proteins, but even I draw the line at soy 'milk.'
Jon.
Boy, after reading that Soy "Milk" causes cancer, I think I'll stick with beer, which, I'd like to add, in these parts can be purchased cold at any gas station. Yum.
have i mentioned how much i love you lately, sevencardan??
Nom Nom Nom! I love soy milk! I have to agree with Jon, it sounds bad to call it milk, but if you call it bean juice it sounds a lot better. After all, we drink the juice of just about every fruit yes Dan including fermented barley and hops juice.
Now what I think is gross is sucking milk out of another animal's teat. Are we baby cows or goats? No way! Milk makes my mouth feel all gross. Contradictorily, I love cheese. :-)
any opinion on coconut and almond juices?
i hear that both are really good steamed. I haven't tried it yet, but i want to. I'll totally be taking some into starbucks and doing it on the sly ;)
Just give me Horizon Organic 2% and I'm in Heaven...yum!
