SOY MILK
Made from ground soybeans, filtered water, and a small amount of brown rice sweetener, soy milk has a richer flavor and texture than other dairy-free milk and substitutes well for low-fat or whole milk. Soy milk is 100% percent lactose-free and is suitable for those with dairy sensitivities.
Varieties
Soy milk is available in plain and flavored varieties, and in low-fat, fat-free, and fortified versions.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Use plain soy milk as a base for cream soups or sauces, or as a substitute for milk in most baked goods.

Health benefits and concerns
Soy milk is a poorer source of isoflavones (phytoestrogens) than are miso, tofu, or tempeh. Isoflavones are compounds thought to be largely responsible for many of the health benefits associated with eating soy. Drinking soy milk helps contribute somewhat to the potential health benefits derived from eating other soy foods, but less so than several other commonly eaten soy foods.
