Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 My mom has gone vegan, and is, in fact, lactose intolerant. She and my dad drink soy milk only, and have come up with several brands they like. There are quite a few that are low-fat - if it doesn't say so on the front, and even if it does, you should check the nutritional label. (I presume that, like in Canada and the States, there is a panel on the side that lists the protein, carb, fat, various nutrients, even separates simple sugars and fibre from the general carb category, and for fat, specifies hydroginated, cholesterol, etc...) You should have some number that is your personal limit for the amount of fat you will tolerate. Personally, I also watch out for the amount of sugar that is added - sometimes it is quite shocking. Remember that (at least, from the Canadian Diabetic Association's perspective) a milk serving should contain 6 grams of carb (lactose) per half cup (125 ml), and try to pick a soy milk that is close to that... If you'd like to write me privately for other ideas, I might be able to help more. To melismamcgregor@..., however, since the addy I'm subbed from right now is suspended by my ISP - we're having a dispute...

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 The Japanese eat lots of soy, and are, by and large, a very healthy people. Ditto for the Chinese and the Koreans. [alldiabeticinternational] Re: Re: milk soy or otherwise Soy is thyroid-suppressive at quite low doses over two tablespoons daily, and at high doses, it causes thyroid disease and reduces libido. Try typing " soy warning " into a google search box to find the research and epidemiological studies. The point is that thyroid suppression causes obesity and dozens of other unpleasant effects besides libido. I'd recommend that people watch their consumption very closely. Me, I wouldn't touch the stuff except casually and rarely. regards, Duncan Crow pancreatitis info http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/ThePancreatitisPlace/ diabetic recipes http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/diabetic_recipes/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
