Alpro for me... Does anyone Juice?
I've been drinking organic soy milk lately.
One of my GFs and I got silly on soy white Russians this weekend.
Always good to eat healthy and then fill your body with dangerous levels of ethanol...
:D
I'm affraid I'll only give up milk and other foods when a doctor checks me out and tells me I can't have it anymore. I've tried numerous soy products and aside from tofu, I can't stand any of them. Not that they taste horrible, but they don't taste like milk or whatever they're trying to emulate. My hats off to you guys that can stomach the stuff, more power to you, but I'm fit as a fiddle and I've been a heavy milk drinker my whole life. No broke bones through 4 years of football and wrestling so no complaints. I drink about 12 oz of milk every night before I go to bed. I don't sleep right if I don't.
Thing is, it is you who wants the product to emulate what you are used to. Why should soya milk taste like cows milk, dears milk or monkey milk? Non of those milks taste the same (I think?) They have different compositions for a start. IMO you're a big baby; does vodka taste like water? they look the same (tho there is no, what you call, emulation) I didn't particularly like soya milk when I first tried it, cus it has an unfamiliar taste. One gets used to it. My bro been drinking it for many many years and he's well into contact sports namely rubgy (the man's version of american football), no broken bones either. If you ent lactose intolerant then a doctor will probly never tell you to stop drinking it.. In fact I'm sure my local surgey promotes it..
Hey, i didn't mean anything agains soy milk or the people who drink it. Simply saying I don't like it. And I'm not sure about the marketing schemes over seas, but over here, they push soy milk as an alternative to milk. Meaning it's trying to emulate milk. I'm sorry, but I'm not eating it on my cereal, or drinking strait. Just like the soy burgers. I know they're not hamburgers, so don't try and tell me they taste like them. they don't. Like a said, I'm happy that you've found something you enjoy (sucks if you're drinking it because you're sick, please accept my apologies if you are). If you enjoy it, then keep eating it. Tell your friends about it. I don't want to come off as a milk nazi or anything. There are a few things on this earth that I just love. Milk is one of them. I say whatever floats you boat.....:thumbsup:Quote:

Anyhow, what all of this leads up to is that we really need to be aware of what we're eating. There's lots of choices out there, some are good and some are bad. I can buy a great microbrew beer without any propylene glycol alginate that tastes better than anything with it, just not a foamy. I can make a great buttercream frosting for a cake without any paint chemicals. It may not be be so white that you need sunglasses to look at it but it will taste great and still be as white as it needs to be. I can buy nitrate free hot dogs which may not last a year in the fridge like regular hot dogs but taste great; and who wants anything that's been in the fridge for a year?
So, do a little research, find what's good and what's bad, then buy accordingly. Then the only thing you need to worry about is getting hit by a car in the grocery parking lot.
Chill! Even thoguh I sounded explosive, it was non intentional.. I apollogiseQuote:

Sabron I hate you lol, I JUST got done eating a McDonald sandwich omfg. That blew my high xD.
Acually all this information is correct expect for the mcdonalds part witch i hear as a myth and decided to pass it on.,... Every thing else is 100% accurate and correct.. I will look up each chemical and post when i can
There's no need to, Sabron. The facts have already been sorted from the fiction up above. And about half of it was fiction or at least partially inaccurate. You'll have to trust me on this. Both Google and Google Scholar are good places to find concrete nutritional/food safety facts, but I'm fortunate enough to also have an entire networked U.S. medical school library at my disposal. You'll wanna do thorough research before you post things sight un-researched, as it were.
Hey birgirl, I was under the impression that Vitamin C was simply ascorbic acid, which contains only C, H, and O, and no Na, and that Sodium ascorbate was a salt of that acid.
Not to mince molecules :D
You did a good job mincing molecules! The strange thing is--and I've wondered why they do this--most general chemistry info on the Web, along with the biochem professors and all the chemists who work with us at school, use the terms interchangeably. And the basic acids compared to the salts really aren't interchangeable because of the addition of the sodium. I've heard them doing that with other salts, too. I know I did that with sodium ascorbate because I've heard it done that way. But why do real chemists do that? Because they think of them as the same thing?
