Soy milk is no better than cow’s milk. Soy protein is highly processed under chemical extraction. It mimics estrogen and has been linked to breast cancer, menstrual cycle disturbances, abnormal sexual development in children , breast develoment in boys, and the list goes on and on. Soy protein is in most vegetarian products and many other products you wouldn’t expect. I guess it comes down to deciding which is the lesser of two evils.

Be weary of anyone who refers to commonly consumed foods as “poison”. Really, milk wasn’t meant for human consumption? Cus I think the humans beg to differ.

P.S. Who here loves a good milksteak?? Haaaa. Cmon, it was a little funny!

Everyone needs to realize that reading articles online about “getting thinner” never works.You need to find your own balance with food,everyone is different.All you need to do is watch what your eating,portion your meals,and you do NOT need a “yummy snack” everyday.It should not be hard for you to balance out your own meals.Eat whats healthy and don’t eat constantly.Exercising,is boring and makes you think to much about your body.Join a sport,clean,take a walk with friends,just be up and about all day.This helps you stay in shape and keep your mental health up.Working out can actually make you go crazy,but its still important to do some cardio and weight training.Some foods are bad for you,but if your used to eating them daily,then cut back slowly because if you just shut yourself out from them like crazy,you’ll fall right back into them.

I agree. Cake is the best complete protein to fuel you through that workout. I like to put a cake on my treadmill and grab a handful every mile.

I consider being severely lactose-intolerant one of the best things that could have ever happened to me. I’ve never missed dairy. Soy and rice milk are wonderful. I use soy for cooking (very creamy consistency – great for “cream” sauces) and I drink rice milk. I don’t usually catch colds or the flu at all, have no stomach problems, have always had low blood pressure, and have no signs of cancer or heart disease (despite a horrible family history of both). Not touching the beef thing though – I do love my porterhouse and burgers LOL

@ healtydiva

Yeah, I’ve been eyeing soy milk for awhile now. I’m very picky, so I’m reluctant to try new foods. But your point about health issues occuring in the long run is well taken. I gave up red meat/pork years ago and don’t miss either, so I suppose the same can be done with milk products.

E, your health will be even better in the LONG RUN if you give up the milk altogether. You might not be sick now, but problems can show up later, semmingly out of the blue. Try vanilla coconut milk by So Delicious, or something similar, for your cereal and shakes. It took a while for me to give up the milk and the wrong kinds of yogurts because they are in the comfort foods category. But they give you a false sense of security. You’ll feel so good after you give it up, you won’t miss it. I’m not trying to be difficult, just trying to help. I’ve seen what ill health looks like and it’s a horrible thing.

@Biomass

I gave up red meat about 10 years ago. But I still consume skim milk in my cereal. I’ve never been sick and I love yougurt/ice cream/milshakes. Why is milk so harmful…isn’t true that we weren’t meant to consume milk or is it simply some people aren’t? Is soy or almond milk a better choice?

BIOMASS, Thank you for sharing the truth. You are oh so right. Most people just don’t get it. They either don’t want to accept the truth about beef and dairy or they are sadly misinformed. We can live without beef and dairy. What happens to babies once you introduce table food? They start getting colds, stomach aches, etc. Beef is bad for your colon and lymphatic system and dairy is mucus-forming. Beef and dairy harden in the body and attract parasites if transit time is poor. Explains the rise in so many diseases. Most people don’t want to agree with that because they don’t want to give it up the bad stuff. They are addicted to it like some people are addicted to aspartame-laced diet soft drinks and light beer.

Bob, a-belle was likely referring to cow’s milk which was and always will be meant for cows not humans. Yes, mothers lactate to be able to give their babies human-produced milk. And if you look closer at the dangers of human consumption of cow’s milk, you’ll find that milk produced naturally from any species includes antibodies designed to internally kill off anything that is not of that species in order to promote healthy and proper growth. And we are (haven’t totally confirmed this, but I believe it’s true) the only species that continues to drink milk after we have been “weaned” from it, and it is not even our own. Hence, some of the problems and illnesses we experience, in especially our young children, can be directly attributed to the use of cow’s milk and or milk related products i.e dairy. Many say that milk/dairy is essential for things like Calcium and Vitamin D,etc. But while there may be some “so-called” benefits to milk/dairy, they are severly outwieghed by the adverse effects and consequences. The same may be said of the consumption of meat and/or meat products. Milk, along with animal flesh, has never been the best for humans, and in recent years has largely been responsible for many types of cancers, and other diseases because the animals themselves are diseased. So many, even as I write this are dying needlessly as a result of years of an incorrect diet. Even very young people are falling victim. All of the nutrients essential to man, and their life-giving benefits, can be found in fruits, nuts, vegetables and grains and/or some combination of them. This is not at all to bash those who do use animal products. It is simply to educate, and hopefully promote healthier lifestyles, esp. here in America where we could use them. I hope I was able to help! God Bless!
