Considerations

• Soy Allergy: Soy is a common allergen. Not suitable for individuals with soy allergies.
• GMOs: Soy is a commonly genetically modified crop. Look for non-GMO verified options if this is a concern.
• Phytoestrogens: Soy contains phytoestrogens (isoflavones), which can mimic estrogen in the body. The health effects of phytoestrogens are complex and debated. For most people, moderate consumption of soy is considered safe, but individuals with hormone-sensitive conditions should consult their doctor.
• Added Ingredients: Some brands may contain added thickeners, stabilizers, or flavorings. Check the ingredient list.
• Taste: The taste of soy milk can vary between brands. Some people find it has a “beany” flavor.
