actually, soy milk has many benefits over regular cow's milk. low-fat cows' milk and soy milk contain similar amounts of essential nutrients. each type of milk provides about 8 grams of protein per cup and is rich in, or fortified with, calcium, phosphorous, vitamin A, vitamin D and vitamin B-12. With the exception of skim milk, cows' milk contains saturated fat and cholesterol, while soy milk does not. In fact, soy milk is a source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid, or ALA.
cows' milk also generally contains more calories than soy milk. a cup of 1-percent cows' milk provides just over 100 calories, but a cup of original soy milk contains just 80 calories. light soy milk often provides just 50 calories, but skim cows' milk generally contains 90 calories. if you choose whole cows' milk, you'll be getting about 150 calories per cup.
though soy milk is generally lower in calories, cows' milk may be the most beneficial when you're trying to lose weight, according to a study published in 2011 in Nutrition, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Diseases. however, a study published in 2012 in the International Journal of Preventative Medicine found that soy milk appears to help reduce waist circumference.
in short, i just f**king hate cows and hope they die
