I have been drinking a lot of soy milk lately. I don't like regular milk at all, we don't even keep it in the house. Since Soy Milk contains estrogen like compounds, is it really safe?
I know cows milk isn't good for humans to consumer, even the stuff that isn't laced with hormones. But is soy really the best option?

I got some soya because it was recommended because I am diabetic, but it seems I cannot tolerate it. I have a whole package and I might as well shuck it plus I have some tofu, just two. I think I am allergic to it, so for some people it is not that good. I heard on the Tv about goat's milk, so maybe I should get that instead.

The trouble is that I have had ovarian cysts, and that was before I was told that soy milk was good for my diabetes and I bought a package. So I have a high risk factor for that condition. At least, now I will be careful and may get the natural kind even though how can I use it up in one day when there is just two of us?

I have heard that soy milk is really good for you. I used to not drink regular milk at all either but now I do.

I think soy milk really is okay for our body. I've drink soy milk before when i was working at the restaurant and it was really taste good but some soy milk dont taste good. I dont really think that cows milk isn't good. I always drink milk every night and its the first time i heard that its not good for humans.
