I was sure there was a thread on soy products, but now i cant find it, can someone please move it if there is one.
Ive been thinking on the soy milk thing, were warned against soy products, but i find it a pain that were not meant to have dairy and i cant replace it with soy milk.
I grew up drinking alot of soy milk, being lactose intolerant, and i quite like it, plus its the only milk other than normal milk i can stand in coffee.
But the reasons not to have it are the chemicals and phytoestrogens. I dont think phytoestrogens are bad, i take them in the form of black cohosh and find it quite beneficial for me, so i dont think that reason is enough.
So surely, if i was to use an organic soy milk it would be ok? Does anyone else still have soy milk? I cant stop having it in my decaf coffee, so im thinking the soy would have to be better than reg milk.
Would love peoples thoughts on this.

Hello KB, This is a valid point. How do we manage if we cut out milk and dairy products? I followed a completely wheat/gluten and dairy free diet for 18 months (at the moment I'm wheat/gluten free only) a few years ago and mainly used soya milk and yogurt at that time, as I didn't know of any alternatives. However, there are almond, rice and goat milks (usually in powdered form). They can each be used as a substitute for milk, by either adding some of the powder to tea/coffee/recipes or mixing up the required amount with water. You may have to buy from a whole food online supplier (I do).
