If you're going vegan buy unsweetened soy milk, I often buy West Soy. They have chocolate unsweetened, too. I have always liked the slightly beany flavor but you may take time to get used to it. I love it on cereal or by the glass but I've never liked it in coffee.
Refined cane sugar is often avoided by vegans because as part of the refining process it is sifted through animal bone ash. If you're trying to cut out all animal products because of a moral decision you may want to avoid products that include "sugar" or "cane sugar". Beet sugar has a different refining process that doesn't include animal products so it is suitable for vegans. High fructose corn syrup isn't really good for you...but it is vegan.
As to the comment that soy milk is bad for women there is an estrogen-like factor to soy milk that causes some people to have hormonal reactions. It doesn't effect everyone and eating all foods in moderation is key to a vegetarian diet anyway. As always you should be consulting a doctor and/or nutritionist to be sure you're doing what is right for you.What is the best soy milk ? I am trying a vegan diet but find that most of the soy milks have sugar in them...
In addition to soy milk, you might try almond milk. I make my own. Take one cup of raw almonds. Soak in water (enough to cover almonds) overnight. Then put almonds with soaking water in blender and fill with additional water. Then pulse and blend until all big pieces are ground. Strain with fine mesh strainer or bag (sewn with tafetta). Wallah! Rice milk with no additives.
Regarding soy milk, just be sure it doesn't have any oil or refined sugar (or high fructose corn syrup) added! Soy products have naturally occurring hormones which is suppose to be especially good for women going through the change who don't want to do hormone replacement therapy.
silk. its the best. but not true there are certain levels of vegan. some more extreme than others.
try almond milk or rice milk instead. almond more so.What is the best soy milk ? I am trying a vegan diet but find that most of the soy milks have sugar in them...
Many of the sweetened soy milks I've found use evaporated cane juice. Yes, that's sugar, but it's not refined through bone char. I usually buy the Whole Foods brand, and they have an unsweetened variety.
Just when I found a soy milk I liked, I went to a closer health food store and they don't carry soy at all as "It's not good for you." I was shocked. It has hormones or something, not good for women.
So, until we both do more research, maybe hold up on the soy milk selection.What is the best soy milk ? I am trying a vegan diet but find that most of the soy milks have sugar in them...
I know a lot of Vegans who dont eat refined sugar. I dont like soy milk for any reason.
Silk Chocolatae Milk is the best!!
Provamel. The organic one. There is also a version sweetened with rice syrup which is great with cereals.
Buy a soy bead milk maker %26amp; make your own if you don't like sugar in therm and have fresh soy milk everyday. More simple is to look for unsweentened soy milk.
You can have sugar if you want and be a vegan because it's not an animal product. I haven't found a tasty soy milk except chocolate. My favorite is Almond Milk and you can get it sweetened or unsweetened. Rice milk also tastes better to me than soy milk.
The best is from a Soy Cow. Just funnin ya! Actually we have a nice organic type at the local co-op. Do you have a co-op in your area?
They can eat refined sugar, I just choose not to... I like soy dream enriched soymilk... and oh my gosh, try to find "silk pumpkin spice"
It is a pumpkin spice soymilk drink... mmmmm.
You can also drink hemp milk.. mmm, that stuffs good.
Not if they're doing a low carb diet!
Try silk
Veganism (also strict or pure vegetarianism) is a philosophy and lifestyle that seeks to exclude the use of animal derived products for food, clothing, or any other purpose.[1][2] Vegans do not use or consume animal products of any kind.[3] The most popular reasons for becoming a vegan are ethical commitment or moral convictions[2] concerning animal rights, the environment, or human health, and spiritual or religious concerns.[4][5] Of particular concern are the practices involved in factory farming and animal testing, and the intensive use of land and other resources required for animal farming.
Various polls have reported vegans to be between 0.2%[4] and 1.3%[6] of the U.S. population, and between 0.25%[5] and 0.4%[7] of the UK population. The Times estimated in 2005 that there were 250,000 vegans in Great Britain.[7]
Vegetarian diets, which are similar to vegan diets, have been credited with lowering the risk of colon cancer, heart attack, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, prostate cancer, and stroke.[8] However, vegan diets can be low in levels of calcium, iodine, and vitamins B12 and D. Vegans are encouraged to take dietary supplements to remedy this.[9]
