Dear Harvey,
I am lactose intolerant and I enjoy Soy products. Was wondering what was your take on Soy milks and foods like these? What sort of milk substitutes are good?-SL
Hi SL,
I’m a huge fan of nut milks, especially when fresh, not pasteurized. But even pasteurized they are better than cow’s milk.
I am not a fan of soy milk at all. Most all Soybeans are genetically modified (GMO). Studies done with laboratory animals have been devastating; resulting in significantly stunted growth and sterility. Secondly, the Soybean plant is what is referred to as a scavenger plant. In other words it attracts impurities in the soil into the plant. Genetically Modified Soy is chemically altered to be able to withstand being saturated by a veritable deluge of pesticides and herbicides and still not die. Eating Soy products is like having a chemical cocktail!
All the best,
Harvey
