soya milk....good or bad?

[thriller]

can someone tell me. cuz im looking for an alternative for real milk.
thanks

neither good nor bad

just a good alternative to real milk (especially if you are lactose intolerant)

some perople say not to drink it because of estrogen but I think unless you take a few liters a day it should be OK

I would just advise you to choose a "Calcium added" version because natural soy milk contain almost no Ca

the stuff i found "so good" is really good and its high in calcium.
im just worried about this estrogen thing now. should i really worry about this or is it unrealistic for any side affects.

I agree... I have seen a lot of information stating that it is neither good nor bad.... let me know if you notice any differences between the two.

I haven't ever seen anything that looked very legit talking about soy and estrogen. I've seen a few articles in body building mags where they talked about it. But they always seemed like they took some study that said it had certain compounds in it and then decided for themselves that it would make you grow tits or get fat or whatever horror. I can't back it up but I have a feeling they are making something out of nothing, they have to have something to write about.

Soy milk will not make your breasts grow or your testicles shrink. However I think "So Good" is one of THE worst milk substitutes available. Look at the crap ingredient list..... Maltodextrin
Fructose
Cane Sugar
Corn Syrup Solids
Carrageenan
Mono- and Di-glycerides
Vitamins
Minerals
Food Acid
Flavours

And they throw in some soy protein to make it appear to be good for you. If you want to drink soy milk, then drink soy milk. Otherwise please don't fall for the sugar and chemical filled crap that is merely designed to taste good!
