Soy Milk
I recently bought some chocolate soy milk. I am lactose when it comes to milk, just like my paw is! I bought the great value brand (walmart brand) and I love the taste and it doesn't give me....the things my lactose gives me so anyways, I heard it can be bad since I am a male... any truth to that? It has to be better for than regular milk don't it?

Not sure if trolling or not, but I am not a fan of soy, but people react differently. Try almond milk

Soy is supposed to have a weak estrogen-like effect. I don't think it's a problem for males unless you eat a LOT of it. I have some soy milk on my cereal every day (usually two bowls of cereal, actually) & haven't noticed any negative effects. I'm also lactose intolerant, and yes, the consequences of that can be... unpleasant.
The cheapest reasonably-good tasting soy milk I have found is the Kirkland brand from Costco, sold by the case. It claims to be organic and only has ingredients that one would recognize. It isn't one of the varieties that pretends to be like milk.

If you can't tolerate lactose, then yes it is better for you than regular milk. About a zillion babies have been raised on it with no ill effects. The estrogen thing is BS, based on a faulty understanding of the science. There are no proven bad effects.

Yeah that's right...That's why we have a generation of soft feminine weaklings who need to pop pills and get testestorone injections, and our healthcare system is under so much pressure...I am not sure what you're trying to say, but if you're saying that soy baby formulas are better then breastmilk or even regular milk then you're wrong...Breast milk has a lot of valuable substances in perfect ratios...Soy milk is only good for one thing: to be poured down the drain or flushed down the toilet...Modern men have a much much lower testosterone levels then their forefathers, and I attribute that to the type of food they are raised on as babies and children...You can not build a house when the foundation is weak. Human body is the same. The type of food people eat as babies and children will determine their outcome as adults.

Majority of babies in the last 2 generations has been fed soy formulas, because it seems that breastfeeding has become " too old fashioned ", unpopular, inconvenient, even politically incorrect....No, soy formulas are not a good substitute for real milk, never was and never will be...Lactose intolerance is usually developed after weaning and not at birth.

You should be aware that lactose intolerance and milk allergies are totally different things.

The thing about soy milk I can't appreciate is the sugar added. The annoyingly sweet taste aside, sugar additives are just unnecessary & unhealthy.

Yes, that is a down-side to soy milk. I'd use it a lot more if it weren't for the sugar and high calorie count.

edit to add:
BTW, I drink 2 cups a day of the sweetened, vanilla flavor. Along with the whole grains I eat it with, it provides 25 grams of "complete" proteins without all the bad stuff you get from cow's milk. Yes, the added processing is not good, but it makes it palatable and its still far more healthy than the alternative (IMHO).

Then buy the unsweetened variety. It's healthy, but it tastes like soy milk.

I buy the organic soy milk. Where I shop it's about the same price as the non-organic.
