3 Soy Milk Combinations to Absolutely Avoid!

1. Soy milk should not be taken with antibiotics.

Soy milk and antibiotics can have an antagonistic chemical reaction. It is best to wait at least 1 hour after drinking soy milk before taking antibiotics.

2. Do not add brown sugar to soy milk.

Brown sugar contains various organic acids that can combine with the proteases in soy milk, easily causing the protein to denature and precipitate, making it less absorbable by the body. This does not happen with white sugar.

3. Do not beat a raw egg into soy milk.

Many people believe adding an egg to soy milk is more nutritious, but this is not scientific. The mucoprotein in eggs can easily combine with trypsin in soy milk, creating a substance that the human body cannot absorb, which significantly reduces nutrient absorption. Furthermore, raw eggs contain various bacteria that are harmful to the body.
