It results to diarrhea, vomiting, gas and cramps. Thus making it a good option for those who are lactose-intolerant. Therefore not loosing the benefits of drinking milk. One huge benefit is that there is no lactose in soy drinks. For many they are allergic to cow milk and can’t really digest it that well. With no lactose those who can’t drink cow milk can drink soy milk. In recent years the quality of this milk has gone up tasting much better and having a variety of flavors.

They are associated to the prevention of many cancers, heart disease, osteoporosis and more. They are also antioxidants which protect our cells and DNA against oxidation.
