Are there bigger benefits to drinking regular milk during pregnancy?
Skim milk and soy milk may look pretty similar, but their content can vary quite a bit. Cow’s milk is a better source of calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C, while soy milk wins in the vitamin D.
Silk Vs Milk Nutrition
Best Answer: It's not so much that there are more benefits to regular milk, it's that there are problems with soy. You're supposed to limit your soy when pregnant and nursing because soy has a high level of plant estrogens and, especially if you are carrying a boy, can cause problems with the development of the genitalia, and in girls it can cause them to go through puberty at a younger age. Take an omega-3 supplement and eat more protein from other sources instead. Actually the healthiest form of milk you can drink is goat's milk because it's closer to human milk than cow's milk is, and try to go organic whenever possible to avoid the hormones and antibiotics they tend to shoot up cows with otherwise. • Tell us some more • Upload in Progress • Upload failed.
