Title says it all, but I'll elaborate regardless...

I am a 19 year old male college student. Over the last few weeks, I have gotten into soy milk. This is because my college is making a campus wide effort to go more green. One week's topic -- how fucked up dairy products are -- for the cows, humans, the environment, and everything else. So I tried soy milk. While it doesnt replace regular milk, it's still quite tasty and I have added it to my diet. I would describe it as sweet, chalky juice -- with a milk like appearance.

However, I am fairly nutritional conscious and one of my hobbies is weightlifting. According to the internet, soy milk can have some negative side effects in men due to some chemical that imitates estrogen -- I assume this is bad for strength training. Can anyone clarify this soy inquisition for me?

What are everyone's thoughts on Soy Milk?

I could probably use every adjective except "tasty" to describe my first impression of soy milk. Not only do I find it on the rather disgusting side, but I'm also quite easily annoyed with the self-righteous idealogy that usually accompanies the consumption of such.

chocolate or vanilla flavored soy milk is alright.

i drink soymilk on occasion, but never as a substitute for milk (like in tea). its just a nice drink during summertime

i actually like soy milk. it has a distinct nuttiness that i find very appealing.

my only problem is in its name. soy milk is very misleading. perhaps we should call it what it is. soy juice.

there no more lies or false expectations.

Soy milk fucking sucks. It's not officially milk until it is sprayed out of some titties.

tell your campus to fuck itself, then drink a big glass of whole milk.

Of this I certainly approve.

The thing in Soy milk isn't strong enough to effect your weightlifting in a bad way, but just stay away from soy extracts and soy oils.

What kind of soy milk are you guys drinking ?

I get sweetened stuff, but I drink regular milk too. If you're going to drink only soy milk, make sure it's calcium fortified.

And the estrogen in soy is rather negligable, unless you're going through puberty and are consuming copious amounts of soy.

That shit happened to me. My friend introduced me to soy milk at age 12. I drank that stuff everyday for over a year and didn't notice how it was affecting me. Needless to say, by age 14, my genitals were practically androgynous and I had developed small breasts. My pediatrician thought I had Klinefelter's syndrome. Anyway, it took seven years of hormone therapy to get me back to "normal."

I accidentally tasted soy milk once.

I can safely say I'll never be making that mistake ever again. God-awful shit.

I have been vegan for about 6 years now and I work out all the time and play alot of sports. I have never had any problems with being able to put on muscle mass or anything. In fact over the last 6 weeks I put on about 4 lbs of muscle through soy milk and a soy protein isolate and of course training harder. This idea of phytoestrogens countering muscle gain and blocking testosterone is complete bullshit IMHO.

Soy is bad (http://www.healingcrow.com/soy/soy.html).

Also, the only meat ruled out by ethics to my knowledge is freshwater fish (http://www.vanguardonline.f9.co.uk/00509.htm).

OP's campus is fucking stupid. They should be campaigning against farming practices, not the products.

I drink Soy milk, I'm also fond of Almond, Rice and Hemp milk. It's definetley something that you need to get used to, but after about 6 months of non-dairy, now I couldn't imagine drinking anything else.

You all need to try Silk Chocolate Soy Milk if you didn't like whatever kind you had. This stuff is rich, it's like a treat to drink it. If I could, I'd have that all the time.

Soy milk is delicious. IMO it tastes better than regular milk.
Regular milk makes me feel sick for some reason.
Ice cold soy milk is so delicious and arousing.

Yeh i soy milk all over my hand after self pleasure.

Just stick with normal milk, or that reduced fat stuff. But full milk is sooooooooooooooo much better....

Potato milk beats the hell out of soy milk.
