Question:

Is soya milk can substitute to a cows milk?

i let my children drink soya milk for i know it is good too but it is good to substitute their cows milk that they are used to drink.


Answers:
Soy milk is nutritionally close to cow's milk, though most soy milk commercially available today is enriched with added vitamins such as vitamin B12. It naturally has about the same amount of protein as cow milk. Natural soy milk contains little digestible calcium as it is bound to the bean's pulp, which is insoluble in a human. To counter this, many manufacturers enrich their products with calcium carbonate which can dissolve in the acid of the stomach. Notably it has little saturated fat, which many consider to be a benefit. Lower fat varieties, however, contain less protein than cow's milk.

PS: beware of the sugar amount when you chose soy milk.

Soy milk is vegetarian whereas cow's milk, well, comes from a cow - check out this website - www.medicinenet.com - hope this helps - God Bless You!!!
