Description: Soy milk (also called soymilk, soya milk, soybean milk, soy bean milk, soy drink, or soy beverage) is a milk-like ... more
Soya Milk ... beverage made from soybeans. The nutritional value of soy is well documented around the globe. For instance, soy protein has been found to be effective in actively lowering cholesterol and helping to maintain a healthy heart. Soy milk has also become a welcome alternative to cow's milk for the majority of consumers world-wide who suffer from Lactose Intolerance - the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, the natural form of sugar in milk. Soy milk originated in China, a region where soybean was native and used as food long before the existence of written records. Later on, the soybean and soybean foods were transplanted to Japan. Soybean or "vegetable" milk is reputed to have been discovered and developed by Liu An of the Han Dynasty in China about 164 B.C. Liu An is also credited with the development of "Doufu" (soybean curd) in China which 900 years later spread to Japan where it is known as "tofu". Traditional soy milk, a stable emulsion of oil, water and protein, is simply an aqueous extract of whole soybeans. The liquid is produced by soaking dry soybeans, and grinding them with water. Soy milk contains about the same proportion of protein as cow's milk~ around 3.5%; also 2% fat, 2.9% carbohydrate and 0.5% ash. Soy milk can be made at home with traditional kitchen tools or with a soy milk machine.

 ... unsweetened but I know many people who like the sweetened. In fact, I alternate at work bringing in soya milk with another woman, and as she prefers sweetened I get that for work. I find sweetened soya milk is fine in tea and hot chocolate, but I really prefer the unsweetened for cooking (i.e. making savory things like mashed potatoes or cheese sauce with). I also like the unsweetened on my breakfast cereal as I find the sweetened stuff is a bit too sickly for me. One thing to watch out for is that a lot of soya milk is m...more

Crowned Review Soya Milk: No cows please!! (1005 words)
by - written on 19/02/02 (Very useful, 1007 readings)
Rating:

In August last year I was forced to do the unspeakable … give up chocolate!! Argh! Just to make things even worse …. No more milk in my tea. How bad can it get?! The reason for having to take such drastic measures was because my son was diagnosed with a severe dairy intolerance and as I intended to keep breast feeding it meant I had to give up on all dairy produce. See my op on beating dairy intolerance through breast-feeding for more details if you are interested. So … it was time to start looking seriously at my diet, and at the ingredients in everything that I was consuming. It was hard at first but a couple of months down the track, ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review So Good? Certainly Not Bad... (956 words)
by - written on 21/04/03 (Very useful, 2151 readings)
Rating:

There are a variety of different soya milk's available, and if you're about to try soya milk for the first time it can often be difficult to decide which one to go for, afterall they're typically more expensive than milk so you've got more to lose if you don't like it. One particular brand of soya milk that I tend to stick to is So Good... On first glance you could probably be forgiven for thinking it is milk - afterall, it comes packaged in one of those cardboard-type cartons that some varieties of milk come in... the main graphic on the front of the carton is a glass with a white, milky looking liquid being poured into it... but this is ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Soya Milk: Please Be Cautious With Soya (1473 words)

There so much hype around nowadays about the benefits of Soya and it was out of curiousity that I picked up a bottle of Soya Milk from Sainsbury's, to find out what all the fuss about. What was this stuff that claimed to be the healthy replacement to my beloved Full Cream Milk. I just had to find out. I put it in the fridge for a couple of hours so that it could chill a bit because I like my milk really cold. From what I saw, as I poured myself a glass, it looked like normal milk and this only increased my optimisim. As I took my first tentative sip and swallowed I had the most violent of reactions. Luckily the kitchen sink is just across the ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review I switched to soya (520 words)
by - written on 12/11/09 (Very useful, 246 readings)
Rating:

There are so many reasons to give soya milk a try, ranging from being lactose intolerant to being a vegan, and more and more people seem to be drinking soya milk nowadays. As for me, I am a vegetarian rather than a vegan and I do eat cheese but I also try to reduce the amount of dairy products I have as I disagree with the way the dairy industry functions. Therefore a few years ago I decided to try using soya milk instead of regular milk. I haven't regretted this decision at all. There are many different types of soya milk and many different flavours as well. For a special treat it's nice to get the chocolate kind but for every day use you'll want either ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Soya Milk: so much to choose from (443 words)
by - written on 01/07/09 (Very useful, 813 readings)
Rating:

The main point I think people would find useful is that there are so many different soya milks out there and the vary a LOT in terms of price, taste, sweetness, consistency, creaminess and so on. Some soya milks are stored in the fridge in shops (and need to be kept refrigerated at home), these tend to have a shelf life of a few weeks. You can also get long life soya milk which tends to be found alongside the UHT cow milk. Prices vary from around 60p per litre to £1.50 per litre. I have been using soya milk for around 8 years now because I am vegan and think cow milk is made for calfs, not humans. If you are new to soya ...  Read the complete review
