Hi.

I have Rice Milk. There is some controversy over whether soya is safe - in any form, but especially for mercury toxic people. First, there is some debate over whether the quick processing of the beans adequately removes all toxins. Secondly, soya contains phytoestrogens, and a lot of mercury toxic people have high estrogen already, and thirdly, it's said to contain aluminium.

I took soya milk for a week, and didn't react well (although I had soya ice cream aswell and some soya products). I got palpitations and other things. I haven't noticed that with the Rice Milk, and I don't believe there is any controversy issue, but I might just not be aware of it. But, it is mostly a carb drink, however it tastes so much nicer than soya, in my opinion.

Don't know if this is any use, maybe someone else can elaborate? It would be useful to me as a vegetarian to have some soya in my diet.

Rice milk is more expensive than soya, however, but I have seen recipes onliine for making your own. I have tried Oats mik aswell as goats milk and RIce is defintiely the nicest tasting, imo. There is also Quinoa milk, but that is very expensive and I haven't tried it. There is also White Sun, which is pea/sunflower protein, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere here, which is a shame as I'd like to see if it's okay.

I currently have organic Rice dream. Some of the rice milks contain rapeseed oil, and I've also read there is some debate on the toxicity of that.
