I like six ounces skim with two ounces strong mocha java coffee, nuked.
And cereal for supper on a hot summer night, with super cold skim milk.
And strawberry milk, yes! Real berries, the little wild ones!
I like Vitasoy.
We don't get Silk here. I really dislike So Good, which is something you may have.I like Vitasoy because there isn't a weird "sweet" taste to it, and it tastes a lot like milk.
Skim/Fat Free, Soy, or 1% for me, right now in my fridge I have a loose capped fat free... whoops.
p.s. 1% for coffee and white russians

Very timely poll, for me at least. I've always been a big fan of milk, and have been drinking pretty much exclusively skim milk for about 20 years. For the past 7 years we've been getting milk delivered from a local dairy that doesn't use growth hormones.
Having said that, my wife and I have just recently begun looking at soy milk as an option. By recently I mean "this week". And I have some questions.
1. Does it really taste that bad? I mean, I love milk. I hate the soy milk. Tried some almond soy milk and it was marginally better, but I had to make a smoothie to tolerate it. I see recommendations for Silk, so perhaps I'll have to try that as well.
2. Is it that much better for you? I've read some things that it has less cholesterol, but pretty much the same vitamins, etc. as milk. Once I really started thinking about it, drinking milk from a cow does seem a little odd. Of course, drinking "milk" from a bean doesn't seem much better.
3. Is there a good unbiased source of information/comparison between the two?

I like skim/skimmed... but it might interest some of you to know that what is called skim here is more like the 1% you get in the US. </little fact>
I tried soy but it just tasted odd on its own to me.

i think i've seen that brand, i've tried several and Silk was the best around here, but i have not seen Vitasoy, i'll take a look again next time i'm at the store.
1. it doesn't taste bad at all to me. i use the plain soy milk for all my cooking needs and it works just fine. i think it tastes just like milk. and they have the absolute best chocolate milk
2. much better for you? well its a bit better in some respects. no cholesterol, but yes still vitamins such as calcium obviously. drinking milk from a cow is weird, which is why i switched to soy.
3. i'll look.
I love chocolate milk, but I get nose bleeds from it, especially in the winter months.
1% for me otherwise.

Having grown up on a farm, with milk straight from the cow, I wouldn't consider anything but whole milk.
One of the healthiest foods you can consume is RAW whole milk . . . If you have access to that, why in the world would you give it up for a factory-produced concoction of chemicals called "soy milk"???
As for "odd," humans have been consuming cow (and goat) milk for thousands of years. In some cultures, this the mainstay of the diet. What's odd is consuming a "food" (and I use that term loosely) that was invented in a laboratory within the last couple of decades. For the most part, the factory production of foods has not served us well when it comes to health and nutrition . . .
As for the health "benefits" of soy, these are associated primarily with fermented soy products (such as miso, for example). Unfermented soy products (such as soy milk and tofu) are more likely to be associated with health problems. Want to know more? Do a google search for "soy" and "estrogen" - and then decide if this is something you really want to be putting in your body.
There may be good sources of information . . . but I doubt that you'll find unbiased. Just try to evaluate the credibility of what you find by considering both their expertise and their financial interest in what they are saying. And keep in mind that there's no big money to be made in raw milk - so there's also not going to be a lot of money going into research to prove its benefits . . . . And, yes, all those studies that say pasteurized or soy milk is best have to be paid for by someone - and who do you think it is?
Skim milk and chocolate milk. My Cross Country coach thinks we should drink chocolate milk after a hard work out.
Never used to be a big milk fan - think it was the room temperature whole milk at school that put me off. Putting it next to the radiators was a bad move.
Now I like it. I tend to drink semi-skimmed as a compromise between fat and taste although I do love whole milk when it's hot - adds an extra creaminess.
I especially like a big glass of semi-skimmed (2%?) when I come in from the gym or from a run. V tasty... and, I read somewhere, better than those isotonic glow-in-the-dark drinks for replenishing the body.

I'll have to go with whole. I absolutely hate any type of milk, so the only time I'll have it is in the whole variation in hot chocolate or something.
