Soya Milk

[Lorrie]

Is it Better on a low carb diet to have soya or full fat milk?

To me its better to have full fat milk but thats only because some literature states soya no good for breasr cancer women, and some literature says it is.. cant be sure so I avoid it.

I use cream, as milk contains sugar as lactose.

I use Alpro roasted almond unsweetened. No carbs (or much of anything else come to that). I think it tastes nice on my home made muesli, but it is definitely a matter of personal taste.

I have PCOS so was advised to stay away from soy products. I use 36% cream in my coffee.

Eat, or in this case drink to your meter.

I tested all varieties of milk and soya light was the best for me, no spike at all so that's my go to for a cup of tea.

Double cream in my coffee though.

I find I can use soya milk in tea, provided I put it into the cup with the teabag before pouring the water in. If I put the soya milk in afterwards, it curdles. Also the water has to be off the boil, or it will curdle. Is an acquired taste, but not bad.

In coffee, it always curdles whether milk in before or after - well, it does for me.

Single cream in my one "proper" coffee in morning from the beans...

Cant have almond milk as alot have added vit D and I've got to avoid added vit D at the moment.

Agree with milk having sugar as lactose though.

I think i've just about been through every milk poss.

I looked skimmed milk up on wikipedia the other day to find out how it was processed. I was amazed that people drink it.. "skimmed millk used to be used to fatten pigs"....

Tried homogenised, unhomogenised, organic, almond, coconut, all creams and totally without.. not really happy that any of it is 100% healthy...

I use full fat milk. My preference would be half/half but I don't go through enough during the week and it spoils. But I know the amounts I have are ok for me.

I stay away from soy based products because my understanding is that they can mess with your endocrine systems.

Almond milk and coconut milk and cream are my favourite non-diary milks.

I've also tried goats milk (can be slightly lower carb) and that is yummy too.
