10 DISTURBING REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER DRINK SOY MILK!

Many people switched to soy milk in an effort to join the health revolution. There is no lactose in it, unlike cow milk, thus those who are vegans or are lactose intolerant, soy milk seems like a great choice. There is proteins, iron, vitamin B, and calcium in it, and is also low in cholesterol and saturated fats. However, the only issue here is that a research showed that consumption of soy milk can put your health in great danger.

These are the ingredients in soy milk:

• Soy milk (filtered water, whole soybeans);
• Cane sugar;
• Sea salt;
• Natural flavor;
• Carrageenan;
• Riboflavin;
• Vitamin B12;
• Vitamin D2;
• Vitamin A palmatite;
• Calcium carbonate.

Most of them may sound familiar to you and do not seem so bad, but the most unfamiliar one is carrageenan. This is a linear sulfated polysaccharide which is extracted from red edible seaweeds. It is used in the food industry for its gelling, stabilizing, and thickening properties. Our bodies are not able to digest it and there is no nutritional value as well. Although it derives from a natural source it destructively affects the immune system, triggering a negative immune response which causes inflammation. Researchers connected this ingredient to a higher rate of colon cancer along with gastrointestinal inflammation which causes IBS, spastic colon, chronic diarrhea, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Being informed is the best way for you to make a decision which benefits your health. Soy milk has been the main controversy topic during the past years, however, there is a significant amount of evidence which proves that it can affect the body.
