________________ Legume Based Milk SOY MILK Soy milk contains the same amount of protein as cow's milk. Studies have proved that it can replace animal protein and other sources of dietary fibres, vitamins and minerals. Soy milk is a good source of protein. Unlike most plant-based proteins-which contain some, but not all of the amino acids that you need in your diet-soy contains all the essential amino acids. Drinking soy milk also helps boost the calcium and iron levels in your body. Be Aware: Though research on soy and its effects on cancer and hormones are ongoing, there is no clear conclusion that states that soy is unhealthy or directly linked to cancer. Some research has stated that soy products, including soy milk, contain chemicals similar in structure to estrogen. Thus a diet rich in soy may pose as a health risk if you've recently had breast cancer.
