solar_kid Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 However, milk is far less 'bad for you' than most of the other alternatives, such as sodas, sugar drinks, and alcoholic beverages, especially when you consider milk is enriched with vitamins and is a good source of calcium. /me smacks solar_kid Ha! That's what I get for writing so late at night. ----Hmm. Hello. This is the floor. How did I get here?
GhostlySykanRyu Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Might have been the brand, but yes...it was that damn Silk, I think it only had 4 or 5 grams per serving. Maybe a serving is less? Maybe someone should double check, I don't have any in the fridge right now. To condemn the art of another is to condemn your own as well. We all have the same origin.
GhostlySykanRyu Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Silk is soy milk...dammit now I have to research that... EDIT:The content of soy milk is said to vary from 6-10 grams per 8 oz serving. Could have sworn it was lower, but it's about the same (but tastes like...soy). To condemn the art of another is to condemn your own as well. We all have the same origin.
47MartialMan Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Are soy beans higher in protein than meat? What food (natural) has the highest comcentration of protein?
Shorin Ryuu Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 I don't drink soy milk for protein...I get that elsewhere. I drink soy milk because it is better for you. It is plant based, so there are less free radicals (whenever you see anything that lauds its anti-oxidant content, it is because anti-oxidants fight free radicals) that cause cancer. It contains isoflavones, which are good for you and has a lower glycemic index. Furthermore, as mentioned before, the human body is different. In fact, many people grow lactose intolerant as they age. It is simply a fact that the human body is not specifically supposed to take in milk (we just have been doing so for a very long time) from cows, or humans, for that matter after a certain age. My mother is a registered nurse and has verified this information. Also, I'll plug the book The Okinawa Program (as usual) just because it has excellent aging and nutrition info...

47MartialMan Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Yeah, cow's milk is from the habit of American life.
Rich67 Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Milk is not only a good protein source, but the calcium helps strengthen bones. Folks who took in little milk as they were growing up are more prone to broken bones and future bone problems as they get older (broken hips from falls, osteoperosis, etc.) As far as quality of protein, the best by far is whey, then soy or other types. I like soy since it doesn't mess with my stomach like whey does. But they all do the trick. Bottom line is, 2-3 glasses of skim milk a day is good for you...heck, it won't hurt! Mixed Martial Artist
