Summoning all lactose-intolerants, vegans, or people who just embrace Milk 2.0 simply because it kicks ass.

Soy, almond, rice, coconut, hemp, oat, what is your weapon of choice for cereal or recipes?

>> No.4348642

Blue Diamond almond milk. Unsweetened.

>> No.4348652

For cereal Rice Dream vanilla wins me over. So smooth, like drinking nectar of the gods. For recipes, Silk's soy milk since the consistency works better for baked goods. For chai tea vanilla hemp milk is divine.

>> No.4348668

>>4348642
Same here. I also enjoy the sweetened though, but typically I do buy the unsweetened kind. I pretty much like all of it. Silk makes an amazing dark chocolate almond milk.

I also looooove Westsoy's chocolate peppermint stick soy milk. God, it's heavenly.

Soy milk isn't bad either, I think it depends on the brand. But I use soy milk too from time to time. Almond is definitely my favorite though. So yummy.

In baking, I love to use coconut milk though. It gives cupcakes an amazing texture. Mm. Use it in this recipe: http://chefchloe.com/sweets/chocolate-strawberry-shortcake-cupcakes.html

I use the cans of coconut milk though, not sure if it's different from a box. Full fat I think is best, but others work great too.

Coconut milk in cans is much thicker and richer, used for things like curries and recipes. The kind in the cartons is more liquid and designed to be used for cereal and such.

Coconut milk (can) in beverages is the bomb. At Thai restaurants try ordring their Thai iced tea with coconut milk in place of condensed milk, so good.

I drink real milk and pop enzyme pills because fuck you they're sold in bulk and I want to drink the mammary secretions of animals that are not my mother. Because, milk is fucking delicious!

Also because lactose-free milk usually has substitute sugars and that's weird, man. No matter what ratio they're in it's gonna taste different. Not necessarily bad, but different. And it's hard to find organic brands.

I try not to think of nut and grain beverages as "substitute milk products" because some of them have merits and uses all of their own.

2. I don't give a shit about what people think is healthy or unhealthy because they always turn out to be wrong later and as far as I can tell the best diet is no diet at all eating whatever the fuck you want and just staying away from chemicals.
3. Soy is fucking gross, I don't need you telling me why I ought to hate it. It's gross, I don't need any other reason. It's bad for you? Whatever, I'm not eating it anyway, but I bet eating a little bit of it won't fucking kill you or anything if you did.

Soy poses no increased cancer risk, and phytoestrogens BALANCE your estrogen.

They pretend to be estrogen when you have too much, causing your body to stop producing so much, or they can act as it when you have too little.

You do realize how hormones work, right? How their half-life is miserably short, so unless you are constantly taking more and more of them throughout the day there will be no effect?

Sure, soy estrogens might affect you if you were eating large amounts of soy products constantly throughout the day (as in every 2 hours or so), but won't have any effect at all if you consume them in moderation.

The proof is empirical. If soy really was that bad for you, then why isn't all of Asia and all the hippie soy-veggie-tards growing massive boobs? Why aren't there soy-based breast enhancement pills that actually work? Because it doesn't have any of the effects that people claim it does!

Well let me point out that Asia does not eat regular soy like we do. The only soy commonly eaten in Asia are Soy Sauce and Natto, which are both fermented and thus cancel out the harmful effects of soy. The top soy consumer in the world is the United States.

I have looked it up. For hours. And all the research that says soy is unhealthy are pretty much bullshit studies that are contradicted by all the better studies.

You can find research out there saying practically anything. You have to know how to sort out the crap from the truth. Look at the actual studies themselves, their methodology rather than the sensationalist headlines you see in magazines. Soy is awesome. Period.

Soy contained isoflavones. It will not make you grow breasts or more feminine. It will not decrease your testosterone. Plenty of studies have showed isoflavones having health benefits such as fighting cancer risk. In the upcoming decades we'll have more information, but based on all current knowledge soy is 100% safe for humans.

The most comprehensive meta-analysis of soy shows that it has zero affects on manliness, but may help against prostate cancer. So if anything, eat up soy if you want to preserve your man badge.

If you're worried about phytoestrogen:
1. Soy isn't the only food that contains it.
2. Eat some mushrooms, or other foods that lower estrogen levels.
3. Don't eat soy...who cares.

But for the record, vegans have higher levels of testosterone. If you're worried about soy you should be more worried about the dioxins in your animal products.
