Is soya milk a kind of milk?!


Question: Is soya milk a kind of milk!?
Is it a kind of milk!? Is there something that's in milks but not in the soya milk (like vitamins or anything else)!? Overall, is soya milk better than usual milk!?

And I'm vegetarian!. If I replaced milk with soya milk, would there be any problem!?

Sorry about so many questions! Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Soya milk comes from the soya bean, so it is not a milk!. You create a "milk" by grinding some kind of bean or nut and adding water, then straining the water!. This is the "milk!."

Like dairy, soya is a complete protein (has all your essential amino acids)!. It has no cholesterol, so in that sense it can be better than regular milk, but some people are allergic to soya (you'd know by now if you were, it's in a lot of foods) so it might not be the choice!.

Overall, there will be no problem switching from cow's milk to soya milk!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No it is not real milk!. It is a soybean extract!. Soybeans are soaked in water then ground!. the resulting liquid that is extracted is soya milk!. It has to be cooked first because raw soybean "milk" is toxic!. When a coagulant is added to this "milk", the resulting product is what is commonly known as "tofu"!. Soy milk in its original form is bland/tasteless!.
I guess they called it that because it has a similar color and consistency as milk!. It has it's own nutritional value and it's different from milk!. Being a plant product, soy milk has no cholesterol!. You can easily get nutritional info about the two and compare!. Of course commercial brands of both have additives which affect taste, nutritional value etc!. Some folks are allergic to it but most aren't!. if you are unsure, consult a doc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Soy (soya) milk is a kind of milk!.!.!. but not the same kind of milk that comes from an animal!. It has way more vitamins than cows milk and is way better for you!.

I don't know why someone said you can't drink soy milk!.!.!.because you absolutely CAN! You are usually safe to substitute soy milk in the place of cows milk!. It is a little sweeter, so it could alter the tastes of some things!.

There are actually many different kinds of milk alternatives that are a lot better for you than cows milk!.!.!. Soy Milk for one!.!.!. but also Almond Milk (my fav!.) and Rice Milk!. They also make them in many flavors like, sweetened, unsweetened, vanilla, chocolate and Chai!.

Another good thing about milk alternative is that they last forever!. They usually last for about 6-8 months opened and a year of two unopened!. You do not have to store it in the fridge until opened either!.

And last but definitely not least!.!.!. Soy milk is free of hormones and pus!.!.!. unlike cows milk!.

Hope this helps!Www@FoodAQ@Com

What the hell are you talking about, coach lawson!.!.!.!? It's is definately not primarily for baking!. I drink it on a daily basis, which IS it's regular method of use(not that you can't do other things with it, though!.!.!.)!.

It's a non-dairy milk alternative, and healthier in more aspects than one!. Contrary to common(mainly American) belief, fortified ones have as much calcium as milk, and the vast majority of them are fortified!.

Yeah, it's just milk with soybeans!. They make it by soaking dry soybeans, and grinding them with water!. 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!.

In my opinion, I don't think there would be a problem, but there is a difference in taste!. (I like the Yeo's brand Soybean milk!.) =]Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, milk is what mammals produce to nourish their newborns!. Soy milk is just called thta because it looks like milk, and it's made from blending up soybeans,water,a bit of cane sugar, and other flavorings!.
