Soy isn’t said to be good for babies. I had to cut dairy from my diet and soy because of separate tummy issues for my baby from my milk. She never spit up again (after cutting dairy) even though we’re told spit up is normal. And she stopped having tummy aches and poo issues after I cut the soy.
I don’t give my (now) toddler soy milk (waited till she was 1 to give her soy products – and I aim for non-GMO), but she eats tofu and edamame. It’s a source of calcium and since she needs calcium to grow and she doesn’t like spinach every meal, something’s got to give. There are coincidences. It’s hard to prove if a certain food causes a certain problem unless it consistently causes the same problem in everyone. My husband is from an island in Asia and they grow up on a lot of tofu and soy milk (the not smooth kind). There aren’t rampant hormonal issues. I think there were some studies on GMO soy causing the issues. I’d have to find it, though.
I haven’t heard Soylent is bad for you, but food studies are pretty flip floppy. One day they say eggs causes heart disease, the next it prevents it.
I find these taste good (though a bit powdery), except the ones with L-Theanine. They are gross tasting to me. These are really filling at 400 calories. I bought them the last few times they were under $1 and I regretted it. They are cheap for the calorie content at this price, but it took some push to get myself to drink them by the expiry date. I still have two left. Even at this price, unless you love protein drinks and are looking for a non-dairy one at a cheap price, I do not reonlinemend. I’ll stick to Vega.
