Soya Dairy Alternatives

Soya milk is an alternative to dairy milk and is widely available in supermarkets and health food stores. It is most commonly made by soaking soya beans in water which are then strained to remove the fibre. It can also be made from soya protein isolate or soya flour. Compared to full fat cow's milk, soya milk has a lower fat content, a lower proportion of saturated fat, and no cholesterol. It is low in carbohydrate and provides a good source of protein. Some brands may be fortified with calcium, vitamin-D2, vitamin-B12 and vitamin-B2. Soya milk provides an alternative to cow's milk for people with cow's milk protein and lactose intolerance. Cow's milk allergy is most common in infants, and specially formulated soya milks are available for babies. Other soya milks are not suitable as sole foods for young infants.

Previously, the media has linked soya milk with having a high aluminium content. However, the aluminium content of soya milks is generally lower than cow's milk, and falls well within acceptable limits dictated by the World Health Organisation. Aluminium in soya milks can be regarded as negligible. Certain infant formulas (both cow's milk and soya milk based) produced from concentrates have been reported as having high levels of aluminium and their suitability for infants has been questioned.

A number of different brands of soya milk may be purchased. These may be sweetened or unsweetened and vary in flavour. Market leaders are Provamel, Granose and Plamil. Some supermarkets also sell own-brand soya milk. In addition to soya milk, a range of flavoured soya desert and soya yoghurt products are available.
