I am tired of being confussed with Soy Milk!

MILK, What is it good for? Absolutely Nothing! Just kidding, it's actually not that bad!

But it expires so fast! And I don't drink it that often, so it ends up expiring before I even open it! So that's why I switched to soy milk! Delicious Soy Milk, which takes a month and a half to expire.
And now, I'm getting so confused with this soy milk! It just keeps going back an forth on the healthy scale! One day I'll hear it cures everything, and the next day I'll hear that it causes all sorts of complications! I just keep going back and forth hearing the Goodies and Baddies of this mysterious milk that comes from beans!

I first found out that Soy milk reduces cholesterol! (good thing)

Next I hear that it's bad for your digestive system, and hard for your body to break down (bad thing)

Soy milk raises estrogen levels- which has made men lactate. Dude! If that's true? I'd poke my eyes out! (Defiantly a bad thing! Ha!) read on: I found a follow up article on this!

Soy milk helps reduce the chance of getting prostate cancer (The joy of Soy!)

Soy milk and soy products can really wack out your thyroid (not so good!) and that web site called me a "human guinea pig" for eating soy before it's actually been proven safe! Ha! They are Lame! Actually, now I think about it! that web site isn't even a scholarly source! So lets completely discredit them- Done! I'm no longer a human guineapig and every one now has a healthy thyroid!

Next on my list, soy milk has an abundance of isoflavones, anyone know what that is? I didn't either!~ They are chemicals that are very similar to the estrogen hormone which are connected to "the prevention of many cancers, heart disease, osteoporosis and more." read more about this at: http://coffeetea.about.com/od/health/a/soymilk.htm

Soy milk only has a quarter of the amount of calcium that dairy milk has (Osteoporosis here I come!) But it has more fiber than cow milk, and it's high in protein!


Soy milk has a little more fat than regular 2% milk, but has no cholesterol!

I kind of found out that this is a never ending list of goodies and baddies of soy milk, so in conclusion of my research, I've come realised that people who are die-hard fans for soy milk, tend to call dairy milk "Moo Moo juice!" and most sources tell me that you should drink your soy milk with in 3-5 days for it to be fresh (that's not the same as the expiration date)
Also, the Sun spoils "moo moo juice" so fast, no matter how cold it is. If it's in the sun then it'll go bad before the expiration date!

But after much debating and reading all sorts of articles, I've made my decision! I am going to (drum roll please......) Keep drinking Soy milk! Cause I've drank it for so many years, and I still don't lactate (thank goodness!); I also figured that that too much of anything is bad for you, so if I don't go over board on soy milk then I should be fine... that is until it makes my thyroid fail! Ha!

Now this guy knows what's goin on! He has fresh milk every where he goes!

  1. I don't want to rain on your parade, but it is possible to get moo moo juice in half gallons. I LOVE milk, and have no problem using a gallon before it expires. Good luck with that lactating thing. If you are not to embarrassed about it I want to know if you start.

  2. Ha! I’ve tried that, and it still expires before I even open it! (refer back to line 7) And yes, you will defiantly be the first one to know!
