What are the Health benefits of Rice and Soy "milk" over regular cow’s milk?
January 172010
I drink rice milk over my cereal in the morning and soy as a drink through out the day because this is what I grew up drinking. I am not alergic to anything and even skim milk has more protein than soy, which has way more than rice. Why should I drink soy or rice milk? I am 22, average weight and height, and work out four times a week.
It’s a choice. You get more protein from cow’s milk, but it can be harder to digest for some folks, because let’s face it, it was meant to feed a baby cow, which has four stomachs, not one.
With vitamin enrichment processes going into all three substances, and the vast other ways you can make up for lesser protein in the soy and rice, if you don’t have any allergies, it really is entirely up to you. All are good for you. Go with what you like, and adjust the rest of your diet accordingly.
