Menopausal symptoms are relieved for many wown in th e12-16 ounce per day rtabge. I don't recommend more than 4 soy servings, which is a quart, due to the estrogenic activities. Calcium supplementation is very useful if it is a major part of the diet.

Homemade is fairly high in fat, like whjole milk.

02/04/04 		I have a soymilk maker and enjoy the milk. My question is this: Is there any way that I can make low fat or fat-free milk using soy? I hope so.

Also, can you give me the nutrients of homemade soy milk, calories, etc.?

05/26/04 		There is an approx. of the nutritional analysis of soymilk (varies with how it's made) at the USDA web site.

If you are making soymilk from a maker, the fat content is not as high as whole milk. Futhermore, the fat in soymilk is unsaturated, aka "healthy fat", the fat you need. The AHA recommends a decent amount of mono and polyunsaturated fats in the diet. I brought my total chol down 30 points and my HDL up 5 by changing nothing other than drinking 2-3 cups of homemade soymilk a day. I don't recommend doing this (it changes the nutritional value and taste), but you can let the milk cool in the original container and then skim some of the fat off of the top. There won't be a thick layer, however, if you are making it with a soymilk maker.

09/25/04 		Thanks Deana. Now, how do I find this USDA website? I am counting calories daily and really need the exact amount of the calories in a glass of homemade soymilk. You have answered so many of my questions and I appreciate it.
