What is more better milk or soy milk?!


Question: What is more better milk or soy milk?
Answers:

Lactose, the primary carbohydrate in cow's milk, poses a digestive problem for some people. These people are lactose-intolerant due to the deficiency of lactose enzyme, which is needed to break down lactose. And there occurs gas, bloating, and diarrhea after the consumption of some forms of dairy products. Soy milk is replacement milk for such people. It is not technically milk, but a beverage made from soybeans. It is the liquid that remains after soybeans are soaked, finely ground, and then strained. Since it doesn't contain any lactose, soy milk is suitable for lactose intolerant folks. It is also a popular cow's milk substitute for vegetarians since it is based on a plant source.

Nowadays, more and more people are deliberately choosing soy milk because of the added health benefits. The benefits from soy are still being disputed, though it is generally accepted that soy milk contains a high number of very healthy compounds.

The debate of soy milk vs. cow milk is likely to continue for years. The bottom line is, both milks provide vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, but only soy milk has been found to actually improve the health of its drinkers.



We Asians are generally somewaht lactose intolerant, so I do not drink much milk, but I never drink soy milk. Regular milk is more nutritious. It has complete protein, while soy does not. Soy can cause too much estrogen to be secreted too. Soy milk is not a very good substitute for cow's milk.



The soybean has a long history and a very long journey through out the world. This journey, lasting almost 27 centuries, changed the world that we know today. Soy products feed a large part of nearly every country's inhabitants, as well as various non-edible uses. The soybean was first cultivated by the Chinese. It then spread further throughout China and to other countries around it. Some time after the domestication of the soy plant, Europeans too learned about the uses of the soybean and they started to grow it. Much later, with a hand from Benjamin Franklin, the soybean made it's journey to America. The soybean has had a lengthy journey, and one that has effected the whole world.

Soybeans were first used as early as the 11th century BC by the Chinese. Soybeans were honored by the ancient Chinese and the emperor Sheng-Nung named it as one of the five sacred plants. Included with soybeans rice, wheat, barley, and millet. Soybeans were used in this early civilization both as food and also as a medicine. Perhaps the soybean actually helped cure sicknesses because of the vitamins that it contains. Centuries after the soybeans were being used by the Chinese, they were domesticated and it is now said that they could be one of the first crops ever to be grown by humans. It wasn't long after this when the rest of the world learned about the benefits of the soybean.
