Is soy milk better or skim milk?

Answer 1

Milk, when you get down to the dirty details. Unfortified soy milk has much less natural calcium in it than cow's milk does. And when the soy milk is fortified, the amount that is added is not regulated and you can get a range of 80 to 500 mg per serving. Studies from Creighton University calculated that the human body absorbs 25% less calcium from soy beverages than from milk. Thus it would take 500 mg of calcium in an 8-ounce serving of fortified soy milk to equal the 300 mg in found in a glass of cow's milk. Other nutrients that are found in cow's milk like Vitamin D, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium, are not found at the same levels in soy milk as it is in cow's milk. Also, natural and unfortified soy milk does not contain Vitamin B12, which is another important part of a healthy diet.

Soymilk is much, much healthier for human beings to drink than cow's milk:

(1)Scientific studies say that people who drink cow's milk regularly have a high rate of bone fractures compared to people who don't ever drink cow's milk. The main reason is that cow's milk is fortified with animal-source vitamin A (vitamin A palmitate), which has been shown in numerous scientific studies to be deadly to bone health in humans, causing increased bone fractures, especially increased femoral neck fractures (hip fractures) in humans. The animal-source vitamin A in milk and other foods blocks the already very limited absorption of vitamin K2/MK-7, vitamin K2/MK-8, and vitamin K2/MK-9 from the human large intestines, thereby worsening the problem of undercarboxylated osteocalcin and worsening bone health in humans. Strangely enough, both the calcium and protein in both soy milk and cow's milk are actually very slightly beneficial to the bone health of humans. Meanwhile, according to scientific studies, plant-source vitamin A (beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, and beta-cryptoxanthin) are completely harmless to the bone health of humans.

(2)Scientific studies say that people who drink cow's milk regularly have a high rate of heart attacks and clogged arteries compared to people who never drink cow's milk. The full-fat dairy products were shown to be especially deadly to human arteries, while the fat-free dairy products were shown to be virtually harmless to cardiovascular health. Meanwhile, soymilk was shown in scientific studies to dramatically lower the risk of heart attacks and clogged arteries in humans, thanks to its numerous phytonutrients.

(3)Scientific studies say that many people, especially blacks, hispanics, polynesians, asians, indians, and eskimos, can't digest cow's milk properly and end up with diarrhea and gas. Meanwhile, scientific studies say that people who drink soymilk regularly end up with mostly only the good bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, and other beneficial LABs) in their intestines. This contrasts sharply with the bad bacteria (diarrhea-causing E. coli) found in the intestines of people who can't digest cow's milk properly.

(4)Scientific studies say that people who drink soymilk regularly or eat tofu or natto regularly have a dramatically lower risk of death from cancer compared to people who never eat soy foods. Meanwhile, scientific studies say that people who drink cow's milk do not increase or decrease their risk of death from cancer. The nearly 100 extremely beneficial soy phytonutrients (including the soy isoflavones [genistein, daidzein, and glycitein] plus the soy chlorogenic acids [caffeic acid, ferrulic acid, p-coumaric acid, syringic acid, vanillic acid, gentisic acid, and p-hydroxybenzoic acid] plus the soy hyaluronic acid, the soy coenzyme Q10, the soy phosphatidylserine, the soy lecithin, the soy phytosterols, the soy carotenoids, the soy sphingolipids, the soy galactomannans, the soy unsaponifiables, the soy amino acids, the soy 7S globulins, the soy 11S globulins, the soy protease inhibitors, the soy phytoalexins, the soy peptides, the soy saponins, the soy soluble fibers, the soy insoluble fibers, the soy mutagen inhibitors, the soy mycotoxin inhibitors, and the chemicals produced by the beneficial soy bacteria) all combine with a synergistic effect to prevent and treat more than 20 different killer diseases of humans.

Answer 2

Yes, soy milk is a healthy alternative to cow's milk. One cup of unsweetened soy milk has 90 calories, less than a gram of saturated fat, no cholesterol, just 2 grams of sugar, and 9 grams of protein. However, cow's milk has approximately 148 calories, over nine times as much saturated fat, 24 milligrams of cholesterol, 12 grams of sugar, and 8 grams of protein.

Answer 3

Both. Cow milk helps your finger nails and hair and sting bones and helps support breast helth. But soy milk helps prevent heart diseases.

Answer 4

Soy, more healthy and fewer calories.

Answer 5

Almond milk is better
