Milk Protein Allergic...

[Guest SJDouglas]

I'm Milk Protien allergic and was wondering if there's anyone else in my boat and what you've been drinking and eating in the "dairy" dept? I have still to find a soy milk that I can drink.. they have all tasted positively VILE to me.

Thanks for the input all.

I am assuming you have tried the WestSoy brand, as that is very common. I use the plain and the unsweetened chocolate, and find them to be very palatable. I use both on Cereal and in smoothies/protein drinks, and to make instant SF/FF chocolate Jello pudding.

There is a large group of people who believe that milk products are not for human consumption, and that it is unnatural for adult animals to drink milk at all, as we are the only animals on earth that drink milk as adults, and milk from other species. (Other animals that drink milk as adults are fed that by humans. ) Adult animals stop making the enzymes that breakdown milk, which is the explanation for lactose intolerence.

I consume and enjoy dairy products, but I am NOT convinced they are an important part of a healthy diet. Not that I'm cynical or paranoid, but I do honestly believe the advertising for drinking milk as a health benefit is politically driven by the dairy farmer lobbyists. (Since in many parts of the world, drinking milk after childhood is virtually unheard of.)

If you cannot get the Calcium and Vitamin D that you need from your diet of dark greens, then a supplement should suffice you.

I have tried many but the best to me is West Soy vanilla flavored, my kids love it too especially in their cereal...
