What is the best milk alternative? switched to soy, but am hearing bad things now.?!
Ok, so I switched from milk to soy!. Now I am hearing soy is not good for people who may have thyroid issues and too much may cause other issues like hormonal issues and such!. Here I was thinking soy was great, so here I am consuming soy milk 2x a day and eating edamame!. So, whats better should I just go back to skim cows milk or is there other alternatives that are not so pricey either!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

As some other Posters have said Soy has many Positive aspects!.
I read the studies about Soy when they first came out in the 80"s , By the "Weston Price Foundation " people including Mercola!. Since I consumed a lot of Soy and had been studying Nutrition , I wanted to know the truth!.!.Just like you!.
I found every single Study against Soy originated in the Same place" Weston Price" Then I checked to see who they were and read more about what other studies they did!. I found the Study to be totally Bogus , They took a truth that Soy contains Phytoestrogens and claimed it acted like Estrogen in Men and Women !. Every legitimate study shows that to be false!.
The Phytoestrogen mimics Estrogen in some ways ,but at such a weakened strength It Can not Cause any harm !. The "Weston Price Foundations" chief Researcher got their degree in" English Literature" Not Nutrition (isn't that a surprise) they wanted and Got someone who could WRITE Great and make it sound reasonable and logical even though the facts were untrue!. They are completed funded by the Dairy and Meat Industry !.!. So it is No wonder when Soy first started to enter the Common market place in the 80's , Their study saying how bad soy was came out! I also read one of their in depth studies in which they claimed " Smoking Cigarettes" was good for you and if you didn't smoke you should consider it !. They only dropped that after all the lawsuits with the Cigarette companies !.
So Many studies have recently come out ( not old ones from the 80's they keep republisizing) I will Post the Most current from the National Cancer Institute Which came out March 2009!. ( who have No Bias and are Not vegetarians)
You can also look at studies as in the "China Study " ( maybe get the Book it is worth reading since it is the only long term study of it's kind!.
Think of all the Asians that have been eating and drinking Soy for over 5000 years ! Do the Asian women have Huge breasts !? Are they Fat People due to slow thyroids !? Are the Men able to make sperm and have children ( How many Chinese are there!?) It does not make any logical sense that Soy could do all those things " Price and Mercola claim without affecting their biggest consumers!.
So I have Soy milk with breakfast when I want , I eat soy yogurt at least 4 times a week!. I eat Soy fake meats when I want!. And I never worry about it !. My children were raised with Soy !.!. and All of us are Average weight !.
Sorry this is so long, but I wanted to say that if you have slow thyroid, your problem is with Iodine!.!. you should eat a tablespoon of a seaweed powder daily !.!.it does not taste bad at all!.!.and use Iodized salt when you cook!. People in this country are screwing up their thyroids because they are Not getting Iodine!.!. that is a fact!.!.so Why don't they tell people this !? also lack of Potassium !.!.so eat bananas!.!.

Last Cow milk really is breast Milk for baby cows , it is full of REAL mammalian estrogen ( not weak plant phytoestogens) and growth hormones, and antibiotics !.!. So No !.!.!.stay with soy milk, almond milk, oat milk!.!.I Like Soy and almond

Weird, I thought cows are injected with hormones to make them lactate more and frequently!. The human body isn't actually suppose to be consuming cows milk!. (IE!. cows milk is for cows and humans milk is for humans!.)
I say stick with soymilk,
Soymilk contains isoflavones which are prevent osteoprosis and cancer!. Soymilk is also a good source in B1, B2, B6 and E vitamins!.
The article below answers any additional information!.
Good luck and put that cup of milk down and drink a good glass of soy milk!. Yum! Chocolate soymilk is my favorite =)Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can get rice milk, almond milk, and hemp milk!. Usually you have to go to a local health food store to get them though!. Im not worried about soy!. Some people say it is bad, but only if you eat very high amounts of it!. Cows milk is worse for you!. It contains tons of hormones, there just have not been many studies on how those hormones affect humans (as the dairy industry doesnt want you to know)!. I would definitely suggest the other milk substitutes before going back to cows milk!. Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
There are tons of milk alternatives!. I recommend almond milk!. It tastes better than soy milk and costs about the same!. You could also get rice milk, it's more watered down than soy milk which gives it more of a skim milk flavor!. There are other milks such as oat and hemp!. I'd say go with almond!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
