Soy milk is great!: Soy milk has protein (about as much as cow's milk), fiber (which decreases the chance of getting diverticular disease and is protective against colon cancer) and it also has something called isoflavones. These have been shown to protect your heart against certain diseases, help lower LDL (bad cholesterol), and help increase bone density. Make sure to buy fortified soy milk to get calcium.

SoyMilk: I am not a fan of soy milk. Yes there are some benefits but studies from asia show that the people that benefit the most from soy are kids who have it all their lives. There was no real cancer protection from additional soy. The best soy comes from natural soy or very little processed soy such as edamame, soy nuts, tofu and tempeh. Try coconut or almond milk.
