What are the benefits of soya milk?
Soya milk has nutritional and ecological benefits. Nutritional Nutritionally, soya milk is quite similar to dairy milk. Following are some of the reasons why it is endorsed as a substitute to dairy milk. • The protein content of soya milk is quite similar to that of dairy milk. • The protein found in soya milk is vegetable in nature. Unlike animal protein found in dairy milk, vegetable protein prevents loss of calcium through the kidneys. (Much of the calcium in soya beans is lost during the process of extracting the milk through the residual pulp which is discarded. However, commercial soya milk is adequately fortified with calcium.) • Dairy milk has saturated fats, which can lead to high cholesterol. Soya milk, on the other hand, contains very little saturated fat. • Commercial soya milk is also fortified with vitamins such as B12. This makes soya milk a substitute for dairy milk for vegans. Vegans are people who prefer not to consume or use any products of animal origin. • Soya milk
