Considerations for Your Health: Soymilk Versus Cow's Milk

Today's consumer is intelligent and health conscious. Everything the consumer wants or needs can usually be purchased right down the street or online, but often times consumers aren't aware of the differences between products, whether specific in nature, or general differences between items like soy milk versus cow's milk.

Everyone knows milk is good for you, right? Wrong. It's not so good for you. Cow's milk, though it has calcium, also has other ingredients that are not good for human consumption.

Milk Allergy and Lactose Intolerance

Many people have allergies to milk and are lactose intolerant. Some people aren't even aware of this condition and suffer needlessly. Once they discover their allergies and stop drinking cow's milk, however, soon discover they no longer have bellyaches, gas, sharp pains, stuffy nose, runny nose, mucous build up, etc.

Parents with children have complained for years that their kids get earaches and frequent sore throat. Smart doctors immediately take the child off the milk products and they get better. Why? Milk allergies.

Children, who drink soymilk build stronger bones, have fewer problems with colic, indigestion, ear/throat infections, mucous and itching.

The researches for NotMilk.com report, "ALL cow's milk (regular and 'organic') has 59 active hormones, scores of allergens, fat and cholesterol. Most cow's milk has measurable quantities of herbicides, pesticides, dioxins (up to 200 times the safe levels), up to 52 powerful antibiotics (perhaps 53, with LS-50), blood, pus, feces, bacteria and viruses. (Cow's milk can have traces of anything the cow ate... including such things as radioactive fallout from nuke testing ... (the 50's strontium-90 problem)."

What about my Calcium?
