It works just the same as cow's milk. And it tastes SOOOOOOOOOOO yummy. I can't believe how much I prefer it

So far I can only manage it on cereal. I guess I'll have to try it straight. I'll try dunking my OREOs in it!

I would only caution you to watch what else is IN the soy milk. If you have allergies or another medical condition (like me) it could bother you. I started using it on my cereal in the morning.. and after a few days my mild IC got really bad! When I stopped, and changed back to cow's milk, the bladder pain went away. I'm convinced it was all the other stuff they put in w/the soy milk. Just my two cents worth...

It should be interesting to see how this turns out:

I recently switched to soy myself. I bake a LOT for family and gatherings, and the ONLY thing I've found that you cannot use Soy instead of cow milk is instant (ff/sf) pudding. It just doesn't 'set' when made with soy. Other than that....breads, muffins, cakes and pies...ALL GOOD for SUBSTITUTING!

Very interesting articles ladies. I'm hesitant to believe that animal research studies carry much validy though as they don't often transfer to human research. I think both were actually very positive about soy and gave no findings that is was dangerous at all. It seemed to me that they were merely bringing up questions. I think even one said that it was preferential to eat soy based products over meat products as well.

ETA: I'm not trying to be contrary, so if I came across that way, I apologize.

"The whole Soy Story" is a well reasearched book with stories of real people. It is quite an enlightening book as I said which makes me very hesistant to add soy back into my diet. Just because a food is a plant doesn't mean it is necessarily safe for consumption. For example digoxin comes from the foxglove and that can kill anyone of us in the right dose. I would like to wait and see how the NIH studies turn out before I resume consumption (Saying it is preferential to eat soy over meat doesn't hold water for me because I don't eat meat anyway). I just have to choose other alternatives that I know are safe). I would much rather choose a food that doesn't have a question mark around it's saftey.

I found a pro soy article just to offer another view. I'm not familar with the author but I found it interesting.

Robin, I'll have to take a look at that book sometime.

Isn't the bad talk about textured soy proteins (like in baby formula) more than it is about the actual bean? I have read a lot of things that convince me that TSP is bad, but I cannot be convinced that tofu, tempeh, miso, and other soy products are bad when there is an entire region in the world who eats 30x more soy than westerners do and has less reproductinve cancers, heart disease and lives longer (Japanese women live longer than anyone else in the world at 85 years!). I just started reading about fermented/unfermented soy products and can't wait to see what that turns up, but until then I am cautious of a lot of what I read because you don't know who is paying the researchers/slanting it (dairy farmers who are taking the hit, perhaps?).
I am not trying to be argumentative either, I just don't want to hop right on when centuries of living evidence may suggest otherwise.
