Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Hi. I prefer rice milk to soy milk for the taste and also its lower in protien (I have kidney issues). I really LOVE the taste of almond milk for a *special* treat. ~*~Namaste~*~ Rayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 firstly- taste is a personal thing-you may love one and dislike the other--why not try them yourself and see-try them separately and use them in different ways, on cereal, in coffee, flavoured and draw your own conclusion., it takes a while to get use to a different taste esp milk but once you are acusstommed to t -you may never use milk again esp if you are asthmatic. or lactic acid intollerant Jean <fjd2002 wrote: Can anyone recommend the best (and best tasting) milk substitute?

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 We use Rice Dream in our home ( all 3 flavors ) as my children are lactose intolerant and allergic to nuts. Even my granddaughter will drink it over formula.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Hi Jean and all, Some might disagree, but from a perspective of hormonal balance, soy milk (and all soy products) is NOT a good idea for women until closer to actual menopause (12 full months without a period). In perimenopause (anywhere from about 35-50) women are usually estrogen dominant. Soy stimulates estrogen receptors, making your symptoms worst and contributing to conditions like uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, etc. Also, soy impacts thyroid function which is often compromised during perimenopause and menopause. Unless you're a woman in menopause or beyond (without thyroid issues) I would avoid soy milk. And, if you do use it, be sure it's organic, and NON-GMO. Have you tried almond milk? You can make your own easily. That way, you know what's going into it!

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Personally I like rice milk. Once you get used to the taste it tastes just like milk! lol and I am sure it is better for you than soy. Have heard so many bad things about soy I try to avoid using it. I hardly ever use cows milk anymore, except maybe in the odd cup of tea. huggs Lyndall ---- Jean 24/10/2007 1:13:53 PM Milk substitute?

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 It depends what you are looking for. Many have great taste. Soy has complete protein and the most grams per glass. Soy has many health benefits but as some have already stated it can have an effect on hormones depending on how much you ingest. I have a friend whose MRI showed she has pre-cancerous cells in her breasts and so needs to avoid anything with soy. She was on hormone therapy which might have caused this and now has to be very careful with anything that can affect hormones. There are a lot of variables to consider but you also have to consider women in Japan have been eating lots of soy for centuries and the Japanese have one of the longest life expectancies of industrialized countries. > > ---- > > Jean > 24/10/2007 1:13:53 PM > > Milk substitute? > > Can anyone recommend the best (and best tasting) milk substitute? > I've never tried soy milk or rice milk, which is best for you and > which one has a better taste.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 hi Jean, Taste is, well, a matter of taste. So one person's fave beverage is another person's yuck. Soy milk has a lot of drawbacks. It is often made of genetically modified soybeans, is very cooling to the body, and many people are allergic to it. Sally Fallon, author of " nourishing traditions " classifies it firmly under " newfangled foods " .
