The WORST Plant-Based Milks...And What To Buy Instead

Hey Bobby, I'm a big fan of your content and appreciate the insights you share. As a naturopathic medicine student, I'd like to offer a bit of clarification regarding your discussion on soy. Just to clear up a common misconception: soy doesn't actually produce estrogen. It contains compounds known as isoflavones, which are a type of phytoestrogen. Phytoestrogens are plant-based and structurally similar to estrogen, but they're not identical to the estrogen our bodies produce. These isoflavones, particularly genistein and daidzein, can interact with estrogen receptors in our bodies. Their effects can vary; they might mimic estrogen, which can be beneficial for menopausal women dealing with low estrogen levels, offering relief from symptoms like hot flashes. On the flip side, they can also have anti-estrogenic properties, blocking stronger estrogens, such as those found in various environmental disruptors (like pesticides, plastics, and certain industrial chemicals), from attaching to these receptors. This can potentially reduce the risk of estrogen-dominant health issues, including some types of breast cancer. I hope this adds a bit more context to your discussion on soy. It's an interesting topic, especially considering the potential benefits of non-GMO and organic soy products. Keep up the great work!

Hey, Bobby! Love your videos. But I'm pretty sure what you said about soy and phytoestrogens is a myth. The phytoestrogens contained in soy are isoflavones, which is a plant compound that can chemically act like estrogen. A primary concern people have is that breast cancer, especially estrogen-positive breast cancer, can grow in the presence of estrogen. However, multiple research studies suggest that there is no association between consuming soy and breast cancer, and that soy consumption may even lower the risk of breast cancer. Isoflavones have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that have the potential to reduce cancer growth. Although it's true that isoflavones have similar chemical properties to estrogen, the compound also has antiestrogen properties, including the ability to block natural estrogens from binding to estrogen receptors and halting estrogen formation in fat tissue. There's also another myth about how men shouldn't be consuming soy because it reduces testosterone levels. You guys can research about it. There's no need for fear when it comes to consuming soy foods. Just avoid the highly processed soy foods and stick to the whole or minimally processed forms such as edamame, tofu, tempeh, and miso. Also look out for genetically modified soy and avoid that as well...

[@yasmeenmn]

Thank you for pointing this out! Organic and minimally processed sources of soy are actually excellent sources of polyphenols that fight oxidative stress and free radical damage! It's also an easily accessible source of complete protein and linoleic acid. I think its a great choice for folks looking for a more budget-friendly and nutritious option.

[@brittanyhughes2198]

But for people with endometriosis avoid soy! More estrogen means more endo.

[@lixka]

You are very right, I read a couple meta analysis about soy this week. And the myths have no base. Even one of the meta analysis said that soy may be connected with the lower rates of breast cancer in asia.

[@VashonLady]

All I know for fact is my nephew was getting fed a lot of soy - soy hot dogs, etc and he started having hot flashes at about age 2.

[@lixka]

@@VashonLady Most soy-based foods are processed and most of that soy can be GMO. Also some case studies have shown that to reach that point the soy intake was extremely high, and those cases are insolated cases, where people have processed soy foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner. that is why a balanced diet is important. if we look into different cultures asians have been consuming soybeans for centuries and this soy consumption in Asia has been linked to the low rate of breast and prostate cancer.

I think it’s wonderful that you made an updated video. Thanks Bobby! I think that plant-based milks can be great for people who are lactose intolerant or even sensitive to dairy. Not all plant-based options are healthy. Plant-based milks are also commonly purchased by vegans who want to avoid animal products as well. I think it’s also important to know that it’s OK to have animal-based milks if you can tolerate them. There are options like organic Valley and Maple Hill that Bobby has mentioned on the channel. Another option that I really like is that more and more stores are carrying A2 milk which comes from Jersey cows. Jersey cows make a two beta casein protein which is more digestible for some people. I think you should do an episode on that, Bobby. I think what disappoints me most about certain plant-based milk or the stabilizers and sometimes even oils that are added to them to improve the texture. thank you so much for your channel because you really helped with my digestive issues. I still have to use medical therapy because I have chronic illness but diet is also important and a lot of times doctors don’t tell you about that. Diet doesn’t necessarily have to prevent you from taking medicine but it definitely improve your quality of life and it will help you take fewer medicines and make it less likely to go to the hospital in the future.

[@bambiaustinconey6048]

I’m lucky to have a small farm store within a 10 minute drive that sells “raw” A2 cows milk. They sell it from a certain local farm in ball glass jars. Learning from Dr Axe and others, raw a2 milk that isn’t heated (even to boiling point for a certain time I think), still contains the digestive enzymes needed to actually digest the milk. The issue for so many people with dairy issues is because of the heat processing of the milk, it destroys the necessary enzymes needed to break down fully for our bodies to digest and assimilate nutrients. I grew up around a lot of farms, it’s common to drink the milk raw, and without all the health concerns. I believe the health concerns with bacteria and such have more to do with the time and travel it takes to go from the farm to the grocery stores to homes.

I recently switched from dairy-milk to Oatly oat-milk because I thought it was a "healthier" alternative -- but, I have a severe allergy to one thing, and one thing only, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, so I carefully checked the ingredients to be sure it was not listed, and it was not. After drinking about a quart of Oatly daily for three days, I broke out in a painful rash covering half my body, and spent the next week in pain -- but I switched back to dairy-milk and the rash disappeared. I don't know how they avoided listing it -- but my guess is it's in the liquified oats they purchase from an independent supplier, and are therefore able to legally avoid listing it's ingredients in their ingredient list -- they can simply call it "oats." I think Propylene Glycol can be an acceptable ingredient if it improves their product -- but if they believe it's safe, they should list it, and if they do not, then they should not include it in their product. Hiding a potentially harmful ingredient is unethical and inhuman, despite being legal.

About the oatly and Gmo ,I'm not sure it has the same source of ingridients where you are, , but in Switzerland since many years there is a law that if the product has gene manipolated grown food inside ( at the begining it was less than 0 point somthing but than some products got dirty from ingridients transpotations, and if I'm not wrong, if it has over 1 % , it has to be written on it. Since many check it, there aren't much such products arround... Oatly it hasn't written on it last time I checked. Actually I think it is better this way, that they will be forced to write if is anything inside and write everything that isn't inside... They write no added sugar for natursl sugarfull things like bannana apple fruit squize...which has very high amount of natural sugar...

Kiki milk contains seaweed. That's a thickener. People with ulcerative colitis should stay away from products containing Seaweed (also listed as carrageenan, in most products). Carrageenan is a known irritant to the intestines and is not allowed in foods in Europe. I don't care what type of seaweed Kiki milk is using, but I will stay away from that brand, too. Thank you for listing the ingredients.

A few words about oat milk...I used to use oatly but after a few years of usage that triggered high blood sugar; a tightness in my chest, headaches, and pains in my arms. The doctor said it was due to high blood sugar causing low impact inflammation. Anyway, after stopping using oatly, which I used to use for making mugs of coco (oatly, unsweetened cocoa powder, some cinnamon, and/or chilli) everything returned to normal. My everyday diet was and is more or less sugar free otherwise, so it just goes to show how foodstuff can build up and impact our health. Oat milk is pretty much maltose and glucose. Some tests showing it does cause a sugar spike just like drinking coca-cola.
