      Anti-soy marketing really works when on each OZB soy related thread another pundit pops up to spread some health related link. The irony is that when hormone loaded chicken deals pop up, everyone turns a blind eye.. chicken's delicious right?

      Getting a bit stale.

        Actually if you bothered to read the link from JVs post you would see that they basically say there is no medical evidence that having soy is a health risk

        "Hormone loaded chickens".

        It has been several years since it was legal to use hormones in chickens in Australia.

    Also read.

    There is one interesting case report of a 60-year-old man who developed big ol' hooters and presented to a gland clinic for an answer. His gynecomastia eventually went away when they discovered he was drinking 3/4 of a GALLON of soy milk A DAY and told him to cut it out. With all the millions of people who ingest soy daily (there are countries where soy is a staple of the "normal" diet) the fact that there is one case report of one guy whose breast tissue was sensitive to soy products is reassuring to me.

    Ok. There was only ONE case and that wasn't even a scientific study showing the effects of isoflavones on male boob (moob) development. Until then, you guys can continue having your soymilk guzzling party.

    This soy milk has added canola oil to modify its viscosity. It is listed in the ingredient. Canola oil is used as a medium to fried something, and you won't won't ever thought to drink it straight, will you?

    IMHO, it's better to drink soy milk bought from asian groceries, as it contain pure soy milk.

      our local grocery store is run by a Lebanese family and they have great soy milk… I don't see how the nationality of the store owner impacts the quality of the soy milk…

      Canola oil is used as a medium to fried something, and you won't won't ever thought to drink it straight, will you?

      Interesting reasoning, somehow to you canola oil is ok if in fried food but no no if raw. So you don't put olive oil dressing on your salads but you will consume it if used to fry?

      • altomic on 15/10/2013 - 07:34

          in america - rapeseed.
          in australia -rape

        • retiredfeline on 15/10/2013 - 09:17

          And in fact rapeseed is from the Latin for turnip, but rape is allied to words like rapture and rapt with the root meaning of to seize.

    So Good has 3.5% soy protein.
    I -think- the one I normally buy has 13% protein..
    I'd rather pay full price for that, than 99c for this.

  • dan76n on 15/10/2013 - 00:46

    Good price. I'm happy with Aldi and Coles branded lite soy milks. S they are just over $1 per litre but at 99c I think I'm going to need to stock up.
    What fuel deals do woollies have at the moment?

        Oat milk tastes grainy and almond milk, which I just had for the first time, tastes like super watered down dairy milk. Whatever floats your boat I guess

        • Diji1 on 15/10/2013 - 11:00

          You'd think almond milk would taste like almonds considering it's ground almonds mixed with water. (Not that the exorbitant prices many health food shops charge for it would make you think so though lol)

        Yep get the few cartons as you so wish. People pay more for mineral water which has insufficient calcium. I'm down to my last boxes w/expiry 14-JAN14.
        Comes to about 33.86 after Visa payWave DC * 36L. And should these hit OOS then I'll take out a rain check to collect at my convenience.

    I don't understand how they can get away with calling it soy "milk". It's not Mod: Foul Language "milk", it's grounds up soy beans, water, canola oil, emulsifiers, coloring, and who knows what else.

    • retiredfeline on 15/10/2013 - 10:06
      +6

      Get over it, milk is a generic term these days for anything milky looking, like coconut milk, and even non-edible liquids like milk of magnesia.

      PS: Didn't neg you, it's no big deal to me if you want to spend energy disliking soy milk.

    • Cluster on 15/10/2013 - 10:26

      Maybe the problem is when people read "milk" they think of "cow milk". I have yet to find a milk product that specifically mentions on the front label in large print that it comes from a cow. It's wrong to assume that "milk" is automatically of bovine origin.

      • altomic on 15/10/2013 - 10:50
        +1

        definitely. I think "milk" derived from animals (including humans -let's not be specie-est) should be only referred to as "lactation juice".

        eg - "I'll have a double decaf with low fat lactation juice"

      • Diji1 on 15/10/2013 - 11:02

        I've yet to purchase a product thinking it was cows milk only to find out that it was something different afterwards.

  • tonester on 15/10/2013 - 16:15

    if one is serious about soy then the only brands to drink are:

    • soyana - 18% organic whole soy beans
    • vitasoy - 17% organic whole soy beans
    • macro - 14% organic whole soy beans

    so good has no soy beans - instead only 3.5% soy protein :(

    • FirstNameLastName on 15/10/2013 - 16:54
      +1

      ta for those recommendations.

      Aldi Organic soy is 14% organic soy beans for $2.
      (no preservatives, all organic ingredients)

      forget So Good.. it's the packaging and advertising that makes people want it, not logic or the ingredients.

      • retiredfeline on 15/10/2013 - 16:59

        It's likely that some brands report the proportion of soy protein while others report the proportion of soy beans hence the seeming discrepancy.

        • FirstNameLastName on 15/10/2013 - 17:01

          yeah, to compare like-for-like, Homebrand has 13% soy protein, for usual price of $1.20. A lot better than 3.5% so good, for 99c.. even if you do have to get used to the homebrand 'flavour'.

        • retiredfeline on 15/10/2013 - 17:02

          You sure that's not 13% soy beans? Rather generous for a house brand.

        • tonester on 15/10/2013 - 17:03

          sorry but no - so good has no whole soy beans

          it would definitely state if otherwise, especially from a marketing perspective :)

        • retiredfeline on 15/10/2013 - 17:10

          Sorry to disappoint you but none of them have whole soy beans, they're all ground up. Question is whether they are reporting the proportion of soy beans that go into the mix or the resulting protein. Soy milk is normally 3.5% protein similar to cow milk so it's not like So Good is trying to short change you of protein.

        • FirstNameLastName on 15/10/2013 - 17:13

          oops.. says 13% soy bean on homebrand.
          says it's 2.7grams protein per 100ml

          has preservatives etc so I'll stick with more organic/simple products

          soy beans are more than just protein :)

        • retiredfeline on 15/10/2013 - 18:19

          Sure, that's why I buy the ones that I like the taste of, and others should do the same instead of worrying about a few grams of protein. Hardly anybody here suffers from protein deficiency so why be miserable for that.

        • tonester on 15/10/2013 - 20:31

          the issue is not protein but soy beans :)

          which ones do you buy?

        • retiredfeline on 15/10/2013 - 21:16

          So Good or Aldi. I tried the others and didn't like the taste. Bear in mind that claims of "organic" are sometimes dubious.

      • tonester on 15/10/2013 - 17:00

        what's aldi's ingredients?

        soyana has no added sugar, unlike vitasoy and macro

        unlike soyana, macro, and the original organic vitasoy (no longer available), vitasoy has pearl barley, barley malt, sunflower oil, so isn't gluten-free :(

        • FirstNameLastName on 15/10/2013 - 17:08

          aldi = filtered water, organic soy beans 14%, organic rice syrup, organic sunflower oil, sea salt.
          says it's 2.5grams protein per 100ml

          allergen advice CONTAINS SOY (lol)

        • tonester on 15/10/2013 - 17:41

          so no added sugar? interesting…

          as most others have added sugar, some find those without not sweet enough

    OK I WAS MISTAKEN.
    re: my previous posts.

    So Good says 3.2grams protein per 100ml
    Homebrand/Aldi are only 2.7/2.5grams per 100ml.

    Still, I won't buy So Good, because I prefer simple/organic ingredients.
