Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 -I just recently joined Costco, but they've had it for at least six months. It's in the same aisle as the powdered dairy products. They only have the vanilla flavor, but it's such a good price and it tastes good. I'm just concerned now because I pretty much live off soy milk so if they really do process it in barley then I think I'm in trouble!

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Seems like it comes out to a little under a dollar per box of milk. I like these because you can store them on the shelf. Our Costco also sells Silk milk in the half gallon containers in the fridge but then you have to store 3 of them in the fridge. The boxes are less expensive than the refrigerated ones too.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 I think Vitasoy may contain carrageenan. See below for Dr. Weil's opinion. I drink Soy Dream because it doesn't contain carrageenan. Today's Question Can Carrageenan in Some Soy Milk Cause Cancer? I just started drinking soy milk. Now, I find out some brands contain carrageenan which has been shown to cause cancer in test rats/mice. What do you know about carrageenan? -- Amy Vitale Today's Answer (Published 03/21/2002) Carrageenan is a common food additive that comes from red seaweed also known as Irish Moss or Chondrus Crispus. Carrageen has long been used as a thickener and emulsifier in ice cream, yogurt, cottage cheese and other processed food products - including soy milk. However, results of a study published this past October suggest that carrageenan may not be as safe as once thought. Findings from animal studies and a review of the scientific literature showed that degraded forms of carrageenan can cause ulcerations and cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. The researcher who made the connection between carrageenan and cancer, Joanne Tobacman, an assistant professor of clinical internal medicine at the University of Iowa College of Medicine, noted that as long ago as 1972 the FDA determined that there was enough evidence from animal studies to limit the type of carrageenan that could be used in foods. However, in 1979, the FDA rescinded its proposed limitation and since then, no action has been taken. Concerns about carrageenan have centered on the " degraded " type which is distinguished from the " undegraded " type by its lower molecular weight. Most of the studies linking carrageenan to cancer and other gastrointestinal disorders have focused on degraded carrageenan. But Dr. Tobacman thinks that undegraded carrageenan - the kind most widely used as a food additive - might also be associated with malignancies and other stomach problems. She suggests that such factors as bacterial action, stomach acid and food preparation may transform undegraded carrageenan into the more dangerous degraded type. Dr. Tobacman's findings were published in the October 2001 issue of Environmental Health Perspectives, a publication of the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), a branch of the National Institutes of Health. So far, no government action has been taken as a result of Dr. Tobacman's findings. She is currently looking into the possibility of an association between carrageenan and breast cancer risk. Given this new information on carrageenan, I would recommend avoiding regular consumption of products containing it. While some brands of soy milk do contain the additive, others do not. With a little research you should be able to find a product that suits your taste and doesn't contain carrageenan. Dr. Andrew Weil - ringtwins Wednesday, February 11, 2004 12:05 PM soy milk Does anyone know of anything particularly wrong with vitasoy?

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 My family loves Vitasoy as well. When ever it goes on sale we stock up. The only think wrong with it is it is higher in sugar than most other soy milks, but it is vegan and the fortified Vitasoy is fairly nutritious.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 The refrigerated variety does contain carrageenen but the shelf variety (which is what my family buys) does not contain it. Not sure why the difference in their two product types. One other added benefit of Vitasoy is that they only use organic soybeans.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 Here are the ingredients from the vitasoy website for the refrigerated vitasoy. This does contain carrageenan.

Its creamy milk-like taste is great by the glass, over cereal or in soups and sauces and is a perfect substitute for anything requiring milk.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Thanks for the recommendation...back in the day I did prefer strawberry over the chocolate milk. I almost purchased a jug of reg. soy milk made by 8th Continent (I believe that was the name), today...until I saw a Silk " Unsweetened " version in a green container. Not sure if this is new but I haven't seen this form before. I haven't tried it today however I am hoping and thinking that this may be more similar to a milk flavor because of the lack of sugar. If not, I'm still satisfied with the others.. S. , " radcsusa " <radcsusa@n...> wrote: > If you're just discovering chocolate soymilk, chances are you haven't > yet met strawberry.
