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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.
