Some avoid soymilk and others are picky about which soymilk they drink. Joseph, The best advice is for everyone to research the issue and decide what works best for them.

And men for that matter? I dont drink soy milk because of what it can cause. Soy milk is not a safe alternative as people would believe.

Im more concern about that.I have been reading some research studies and the impacts on the GI tract...read some about it. The FDA has report some concerns about the use of carrageenan but the industries will have to use some other new agent... any thoughts about that? I also heard about the high content of estrogen in soy milk is it true? Take care everybody... What about carrageenan?

We switched to soy just yesterday but while speaking to friends, they said they liked almond best. I think soy wins nutrional value hands down! Thanks for the comparison.

Comparing sugars is kind of silly because neither soy beans or almonds have sugar to speak of, so the sugar you are looking at is how much is added. I believe you should be able to find unsweetened versions of both. I am looking into switching from soy to almond, or at least to partially switch because of the controversy that's come out about soy and thyroid function.

I tried Almond milk< liked it, but was saddened to see that one of the ingredients listed is SOY LECITHIN. The ubiquity of soy in the American diet is scary for someone with a child that was hospitalized for an allergic reaction to soy. I have been reading about hempmilk and aam going to try it tomorrow.

She'll only drink soy milk if it's chocolate, but I'm wondering what the hemp milk tastes like. When I think of hemp I think of things like burlap! Lol.
