== Soy : healthy or not? ==
Like for all things take in moduration. More research is necessary :
* Soy milk is an aid in reducing high cholesterol.
* Soy milk can help to prevent and treat menopausal symptoms.
* [[Isoflavones ]] are found in soy milk. They are quite similar to the hormone that we call estrogen. 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. See higher about the possible risks of overdosing isoflavones.
* Some studies have shown that cows milk can result in insulin dependent diabetes over time whereas consuming soy milk has not reflected this outcome.
* Only 0.5 percent of the children are allergic to soy milk, whereas 2.5 percent are allergic to cows milk.
