folks can anyone tell me which company's sugar free soy milk is available here in doha,,,I have been looking for it in lulu hypermarket but all packs seem to contain sugar in them,,,which sugar free soy milk is available n where can I find it.
and one more information I need, is soy milk available only in long life packaging or I can find it in fresh form as well? I m trying to lose some weight and for that matter I wanna switch from dairy milk to soy milk due to it's high protein n low fat content. If anyone can guide me please do so. thanks

oh well, from what I read on internet about soy milk, it was a healthy drink lower in fat n higher in protein, but I guess I should have read about the bad effects as well.

thanks u everyone for the response.

Thousands of studies link soy to malnutrition, digestive distress, immune system breakdown, thyroid dysfunction, cognitive decline, reproductive disorders and infertility -- even cancer and heart disease.

Personally whenever I used to eat soy I used to get heat boils... and a kind of digestive distress... so I stopped... only recently I found on the net a lot of negative opinion on Soy... Soy is present in most fast food...

You know, soy milk has some bad things too...mostly it is made from gene manipulted soy, and that is very bad for you.

An alternative is almond milk. There is some available that is sweetened with Steevia, a low cal plant based sweetener.

The best alternative, IMHO, is home made almond milk. all you have to do is soak almonds over night in water, then put them with water in a blender. If you want, you can strain them, but you don't have to, as the almond pulp is good for you.

If you are on a diet you can drink skimmed milk (pink cap)it is fat free and no need for Soya milk.
