Is soy milk a dairy product?!


Question: I am just about to take some medications for my acne, (clindamycin, tetracycline) and my doctor told me to avoid dairy products because they will make the medicine ineffective. Is it okay to drink soy milk instead of whole milk?

Soy milk is perfectly safe if you must (or you wish to) avoid dairy. If you don't find a brand of soy milk you like (Silk is best for drinking, but any brand will do for pouring over cereal or baking). If soy doesn't do it for you, try rice milk or almond milk. Keep trying out different brands until you find the one you like.

You can also have soy ice cream--I'm a fan of Soy Delicious Purely Decadent. There's also rice ice cream, but I haven't tried it yet. Sorbets are suitable, sherbets are not.

Tofutti makes soy sour cream and soy cream cheese; they make products for the lactose intolerant, but not all of their stuff is vegan.

If you buy soy cheese, watch out for casein (a dairy protein). There are vegan cheeses out there.

I'm probably giving you more information than you want, but there's more to dairy than just milk. So do read your labels to ensure there are no milk ingredients in your food.

No, soy milk has no dairy so it'll be safe to drink.

No
A dairy product is derived from an animal.
Soy isnt.

No. Soy Milk has no dairy. If you don't like it, you might also try Rice Milk or Almond Milk. Rice milk is a little sweeter.

no it's made from soy beans

No it is not a dairy product. And is good to drink, but not too much of, or if you have a thyroid problem. Soy milk is made from soybeans.

no dairy in soy milk baby!

SOY milk.... really, it is SOY.

soy milk contains about the same proportion of protein as cow's milk~ around 3.5%; also 2% fat, 2.9% carbohydrate and 0.5% ash. goodluck ^_^

No soy milk is not dairy. You also have an option of almond milk and rice milk being completely dairy free.



You can get either cold pack or hot packs (don't need to be refrigerated until opened)

yes, it's fine to drink it.
soy milk comes from soy beans :D

no, its actually a protein product, becouse of the beans, and it almost like a meat, becuse lots of beans and proteins fall under the meat category on the nutrition triangle.

Soy milk is definitely not a dairy product.

Dairy products are made from real milk.

No, get it its so delicious

no. keyword: SOY.

Soy milk is NOT MILK.

yup. no problem because soy milk is actually made from soy beans :)

soy milk has no dairy

but it tastes nasty if you arent used to it.

IF it was a dairy product then lactose people would be having diarrhea right now.
