I am considering switching from milk to soy milk. I know soy is supposed to actually reduce estrogen through phytoestrogens and milk has ACTUAL estrogen in it. Is there anything I am missing here? I'm not overly paranoid about GMOs. Maybe almond milk would be a better choice?
I’ve always avoided milk in general because I’m not a fan of the stuff either. I would generally recommend almond milk vs soy but only for the reason I tend to veer clear of any soy products that I can.
This would be the way to go. Almond milk has no estrogen OR phytoestrogens. You could also pick cashew or rice milk, but they don’t taste very good.Quote:

Try Raw goat milk or raw cow milk
Seems that proteins in soy definitely are anti-androgenic, estrogen isn't even the problem. No soy for me

I go with coconut milk
I steer clear of all soy as well. You can find decent alternatives to soy these days, too. I love sushi/sashimi, and I recently found a pretty decent alternative called "No Soy" by Oceans Halo - if anyone's interested.
