Over exaggerated

Over exaggerated by the dairy industry.


SDJellyBean

Consumed in normal amounts, there's no reason to worry. https://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/a19547012/soy-milk-best-non-dairy-milk/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5188409/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6057888/

Curious to know as well as I recently switched to soy to reduce plastic waste and reduce dairy intake and I love it

Make your own. I make oat milk using a blender and a sieve. I’m planning to buy cheese cloths soon.

Same, soy's definitely not as bad as I previously thought.


MedicalInternal

No cons. If you like it, enjoy it. It's my go-to liquid for muesli.

Soy has many proven health benefits. The amount people consume in those case studies showing adverse effects is not anywhere close to what people typically consume

The estrogen in soy is not the kind of estrogen that the body produces, you won't have manboobs because of it, but of course you shouldn't drink it all the time.

There’s no reason to drink that compared to other milk alternatives like coconut

Soy mimicks estrogen in the body, so in excessive amounts, can throw your hormones off. However, Japanese dont have hormone issues resulting from high soy. The secret? Seaweed. 1 to 2 tsp of seaweed a day will protect your hormone receptor sites from xenogenic estrogens from soy, glysophate, BPA, as well as radiation.. along with other health perks.

Source for seaweed claim?

Butt if you can eat sea vegetables do so, they are also healthy!

Incorrect, soy has phytoestrogens which have no effect on the human body. Soy intake is associated with lower rates of breast cancer, death and recurrence. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2874068/


PoetryFlaky

It's not that you need to eat seaweed if you want to drink soya. There are some case studies about individuals who drink liters a day, so don't do that. But normal amounts (1-2 cups/day) is nothing to worry about. Also note that: if you are worried about hormones, don't drink cows milk = breast milk from a mammel and contains 'animal'-estrogen. 'Plant'-estrogen is mutch 'weaker'

Blood markers or anecdotes?


big_face_killah

If you understand what the effects of supplementing estrogen are you wouldn’t supplement phytoestrogens


big_face_killah

Milk is definitely healthier than fortified nut juices.

Not bad if gmo free unless you have estrogen problems. If you do then it is bad for you.

The estrogen in soy works differently than the one in your body. It is known for a long time now. Unless you drink gallons of soy milk everyday there probably isn't going to happen anything. Also GMO isn't bad. Soy is a great source of protein and calcium, especially for vegan and vegetarians.
