Doesn’t matter where you buy soy milk. If it’s 100% national it’s disgusting. Most of what you buy in the super markets have added sugar.

Tofu has flavour. You have to remember soy milk is basically the left over shit from making tofu. All the healthy shit is left in the pulp including the flavour.

Not true.

First, you make soy milk by rehydrating soybeans, blending them with water, cooking the mixture, and then straining it. The remains are called okara. If you add a coagulant to the milk and cook it further, you'll get tofu curds, from which tofu is made. The remaining liquid is whey.

> Tofu has flavour

Flavour of raw tofu depends on the type of coagulant used.

Not all 100% natural soy milk is considered distasteful by everyone; taste is subjective.

Sugar is added for people who don't like the taste of a natural plant based milk - as a taste enhancement to make these milks taste sweeter and more palatable, akin to the naturally occurring lactose (sugar) in cow's milk. Sugar can improve the body, texture, and mouthfeel of plant-based milks, making them feel richer or creamier.

Not all plant-based milks contain added sugars. Many brands offer "unsweetened" versions for those who prefer no added sugar or are monitoring their sugar intake.

Obviously or they wouldn’t sell it. Doesn’t change the fact majority of it has added sugar and is unhealthy and worse than full cream milk.

Derived from a bovine's udder, cow milk is essentially a white, viscous secretion containing fats, hormones, bioaccumulated pesticides and herbicides, and sometimes pus and blood from infected teats, all filtered through a mammary gland that often comes into contact with dirt and feces during the extraction process.

Cow milk, routinely touted as a wholesome beverage, can legally contain up to 400 million somatic cells (often referred to as pus) per milliliter in the U.S., and traces of blood, all originating from inflamed and possibly infected bovine udders, making one wonder about the purity of the seemingly innocent white liquid.

Cow's milk also naturally contains hormones, including Insulin-like Growth Factor-1, estrogens, progesterone, prolactin, and oxytocin; also some cows receive artificial hormones like rBST to enhance production; when consumed regularly, those hormones may impact the growth and reproductive functions of consumers.

In the relentless cycle of dairy production, cows endure forced impregnation and a shortened lifespan — typically 5 years instead of the potential 25+. The record lifespan for a cow is 48 years. Newborn males are typically culled immediately, while females are separated from their mothers shortly after birth, crying for each other usually for weeks.

And we haven't addressed the land needs and environmental impact of dairy production. This includes deforestation for pastures, high water use, greenhouse gas emissions from cows, runoff of pesticides and fertilizers polluting water, and contributions to soil degradation and biodiversity loss.

But sure, soy mik is worse ;)

lol in the US. The 2 places to avoid food from is the US and China. I would never drink milk from America. I mean this is the same country that makes all its bread with sugar! LOL.

It's the same almost everywhere.

- European Union: The limit set for raw cow's milk is 400,000 somatic cells per milliliter.

- Canada: The limit is set at 400,000 cells per milliliter.

- Australia: The limit is 500,000 cells per milliliter for milk intended for human consumption.

- New Zealand: The limit is 400,000 cells per milliliter.

- India: Standards can vary, but the limit often set is 500,000 cells per milliliter.

- Brazil: The limit is 500,000 cells per milliliter for Grade A milk.

Spoken like someone who has never had milk outside of the U.S.
