Hello everyone, how are you all? I hope you doing good.

I wanted to ask about Soy milk, is it true it's not good for males since it has female hormone? From what I learned after Goggling it, it seems medical reports are contradicting or not 100% sure about it so they advice to take in a moderate way.

Have anyone here tried it? I've been taking it a week ago and it felt a bit more light then the regular milk for me.

Some say soy is good, others say it is bad. The jury is still out. Don't know much about soy milk but I believe tofu and miso are considered the good soy. Soy used as meat substitute such as soy burgers are not so beneficial. I stay away from soy milk because most soy milk contains carrageenan which is a no-no for me.

I noticed the last couple times i have had soy milk I have had reactions where it felt as though I had internal hives in my esophagus...

Since I'm lactose intolerant, I find soy milk to be a great alternative for me! I don't drink it much, just in my coffee or cereal.

I haven't had any problems with it, but one of my close friends, who has IBS says soy milk gives her really bad D.

I guess it's just one of those things, like Crohns, that affects everyone differently.

Soy milk is one I stay away from. For a couple reasons. One is also because I stay away from carrageenan and most contains it. But also because soy is one of those things that I feel like it changes so much from it is good for you, it is not good for you, it is ok in moderation. You shouldn't have it if xyz. I know all health info changes a lot but I find this one confusing to me and it is easy to not eat it.

Especially now with so many other good milk alternatives. I really like coconut milk and almond milk.

Soy is like beans, broccoli etc. for me. It activates my digestive system too much, and my Crohn's doesn't like that. My GI said to use lactose free milk rather than soy milk, and I do that rather than regular milk.

I'm allergic to soy. So it's a no for me.

No soy for me. Almond milk (Breeze not silk) is my thing. I here rice milk is popular too.

I forget exactly why I don't use soy milk but it wasn't good for me. I know that much.
I like the unsweetened Almond Breeze. I don't drink it by the glass but for cereal and even baking it's great.
