Jonadab – yeah, I often wonder how people with wheat allergies get by in the states. It’s gotta stink.

Oh, yeah, soy beans are a major agricultural product through a large swath of the US, I would say everywhere from the latitude of Kentucky or so up north to the Canadian border, it's probably the third-most important food crop (*certainly* the third-most commercially important grain in any event) after wheat and corn. And I'm not surprised places that eat a lot of soy products, such as Japan, import it from us, because we, frankly, don't eat that much soy food in the midwestern US. I mean, yes, we have foods that are based on soybeans, but not in anything like the kind of volume that we eat a major grain like rice in, let alone corn or beef, to say nothing of wheat. (Wheat or wheat flour is an ingredient in approximately 103% of all American food products.) Jonadab the Unsightly Ones last blog post was: Bad Analogies 101

Aileen – HA! Read Blue’s comment and you’ll see what’s up. Also, I never actually stated that it tastes like banana. Cause it really doesn’t much. It’s one product in a long, long line of things that don’t taste like their real-world counterparts. Grape flavored things are notorious for this too. (But in spite of that – I think it’s delicious.)

Blue – thanks for the information! I will indeed keep enjoying the soy milk, and not turn into a girl. (Although I question the healthiness of this drink…it’s loaded with sugar. Ha ha ha.)

It’s not artificial estrogen but natural substance called isoflavone, which works like estrogen and helps women having menopause.
Once it was said that isoflavone could cause the higher risk of breast cancer because it mimiced estrogen. But there is no conclusive study about it.
Soy products, which contain isoflavone naturally, are definitely considered very healthy and safe.
So keep enjoying them, that will not make you a girl.

Clay – at least I know that this stuff isn’t genetically modified. That’s the stuff that freaks me out a bit. It stopped me from partaking of soy products at all when I was in high school and college, because it was said to be related to sterility. I’ll take some added estrogen over sterility any day. But I’ll be careful. Besides – I can’t afford to go on a crazy binge and have 6 cases of it shipped to my house anyway. (Unless I start to save for it…which I won’t.) Ha ha.

Kathy – I saw that comment coming from a thousand miles away. Yes, yes. You get credit for introducing me to the flavored soy milks. Sheesh.

The is a lot of artificial estrogen in soy products, or so I hear, so be sure to only soy yourself in moderation. I loved Korean soy milk. claytonians last blog post was: This is my goodbye speech for the schools.
