Sunrich Soymilk 1 Serving.
It has added sugar (cane juice), vanilla flavour and carrageenan (a plant-based gum). I have never added these to my regular milk - why would I want to drink them now? Especially sugar?
Upstate Farms Fat-Free Milk 1 Serving.
Fat-free milk wins hands down in terms of higher quality of nutrients, clear-cut essential ingredients and no added sugar.
Take that, lizard brain.
PS: AAAAAAAargh. I still want it. This is getting so ridiculous! Anyone want to talk me out of this madness?!
PPS: Worse, I now want to get Biscoff Speculoos to dunk in them! Nice going. :/
Soy has isoflavones that have a structure similar to the hormone, Estrogen. However, some animal studies have shown that the actions of these phytoestrogens (estrogens from plants) are not exactly the same as estrogens from animal sources.
But the jury is out on this one because
a) Whatever epidemiological studies have been done are all inconclusive if taken together (some indicate decreased risk and others indicate increased risk).
b) Some later cell-culture studies have seen that phytoestrogens act on the same signaling receptors and pathways as estrogens do.
There is an ecological argument that soy is protective against breast cancer because it is common in the diets of women from South-East Asia and these women have low breast cancer incidence/prevalence rates. However, it would be a stretch to say that these low rates are because of soy consumption because their diets and environment are also completely different when compared with Caucasian women or African-American women.
Can too much soy lead to breast cancer?
What is this - like a tit-for-tat evil thought induction??! You actually made me search stores that retail this light brand and I just found out the Tops, Niagara Street sells an unsweetened version!!
I want to go to there....
And just you wait, I am going to get you for this.
Jim, you are my sole friend in the morass of temptation!
when I drink cow milk it is always skim; I like the watery taste :) Hated milk as a kid (parents always bought "2%", most friends had "whole") and didn't know there were differences in milk until I had, in my 8 year old opinion, a "good" cup of milk at a friends house. I was so blown away that I made sure to remember what was different about it. Happened to be that it was Skim. 1% is the max I will go before it gets thick and gross feeling in my mouth.
Now, for soy milk, for much of the same reason, I prefer the Silk brand light plain
or light vanilla. :::link:::
check them out, and you might find that you can continue with your soy milk obsession.
Now I feel like a drug pusher. hehe
SOY MILK: THE DEVIL'S JUICE
Um yeah... how is that supposed to talk me out of buying soymilk?
What's the difference between fat free milk and water besides calories? Ew ew ew. Milk is supposed to be white, not blue or clear.
