Cow likes soy milk. Don’t believe me? Watch this.
This advertisement is quite cool with cows wearing clothes, speaking English and having breakfast. But, what makes it really interesting is that even cow is drinking soy milk, instead of their own milk! I am no sure whether these cows are using Gateway as their desktops.
.
Take the joke aside, cows drink water and soy milk does not come from cow, but it is processed from the bean itself. My younger brother drink soy milk because he has lactorse intolerance. Soy milk is often consumed by my other vegetarian friends too. However, nowadays, rather than drinking soy milk because one has to, more people are choosing soy milk because of the following health benefits:
- Soy milk is high in protein.
- The more the protein in the soy milk, the higher the isoflavone content. Many believe that isoflavones reduce cholesterol, prevent of osteoporosis and reduce the risk for certain cancers (prostate cancer and breast cancer).
- Because soy milk is from beans, it contains more fiber than cow’s milk.
- Contrary to belief, soy milk is not fat free. Depending how it is produced, it may have more fat than cow’s milk. However, it does not have the bad cholesterol.
Soy milk has about quarter of the calcium of what we get in cow’s milk. Therefore, some companies are adding calcium to soy milks. However, even if you do not get enough calcium from soy milk, you still get can calcium from other sources such as yogurt, cheese, sardines and green leafy vegetables. In addition to calcium, soy milk is fortified by the manufacturers with vitamin D and other nutrients. Some even come out with different flavors.
So, if you have lactose issue with cow’s milk, now, you have an alternative source of protein.

Let’s have a little comparison between 1% cow’s milk and soy milk. In cow milk, there’s approximately 8 grams or protein whereas soy milk has less than 7. Not only that, 1% cow milk has bout 2.5 grams of fat while soy milk has more than 4. Of course, if you want to lose some fat, it’s better if you opt for 1% milk. Besides, cow milk also has a significant higher level of calcium compared to soy milk. Just like what you’ve mention afore, soy milk indeed has higher fiber and no cholestrol, and these 2 points are sufficient to rebuttle the other points.
All in all, if you’re looking to build muscle, cow milk is definitely better, but if you’re lactose intolerant, soy milk suits you more. Anyway, both are equally good!!

The best is human milk.. already have the amino acids, enzymes, hormonal growth factors and vitamins perfectly proportioned for maximum human muscle mass!

As I’ve heard… as it is written in Muscular Developement… too much soy milk will develop prostate cancer. That’s like drinking up to 5 glasses of soy milk a day. If you’re lactose intolerant, drinking more than 5 glasses of fresh cow milk will in actual fact, send your sorry ass state to the toilet for a visit.

does soy milk contain female hormone?
isit harmful for male bodybuilders?
will it make my chest look like breast?

Haha that’s a good question Veggie. I don’t know much about the case if soy milk could ‘boost’ female hormone… though I definitely know one thing. It does not contain female hormone. If it does… I wouldn’t want to imagine what I’ll become.
I’d been drinking a lot of soy milk so far and I don’t think I’ll turn into a *gay straight or even into a tranny at all. LOL. Anyhow, soy milk doesn’t contain as much protein as milk does. Worry not for drinking soy milk because it will never turn your chest into a breast unless you drink lots of it and never workout.
As for my case, I would prefer cow milk as it definitely contain higher rate of protein compared to beans or nuts. If drinking milk isn’t going to help you due to your bad tolerance towards lactose, then take half a glass of milk and munch some nuts(preferably almonds or hazelnut) instead of a full glass of milk alone. It’ll do you good as such intake will supply you sufficient amount of protein and you don’t need to beg Mother Nature for forgiveness…

In addition, for those who are intolerant of lactose, drink soy milk for a start. Couple of weeks later, you can repeatedly drink soy milk and then cow milk for the next day until you’re totally able to have milk daily.

It really comes down to a matter of taste. I was going to make the switch to Soy because I believed the hype. However, after doing some research, I found the Soy vs. Skim/nonfat milk weighs pretty even. Non-fat milk has more protein than Soy. Per one cup, soy has 1g of fiber compared to 0g in cows milk.
What really matters when making the decision for soy or cow is what you want to get out of it. If you can figure out why you drink milk then you can determine which is the best option for you.

Why dont you guys get this book and read it 8 minutes in the morning by Jorge Cruise. Instead of vaguely debating about this and that the book will tell you the truth about what we realy eat and what is good and not good for you.
Fact is soy milk is good for you than cows millk. Also some farmers have been buyhing feed in the past that use to contain meat and were feeding it to cows here in the United kingdom.

I am a breast cancer patient and am taking Femara (hormone suppressor) now. I like to know whether I should drink milk or soymilk for calcium, without the unwanted hormone.
