Consuming eggs and soy milk together can affect nutrient absorption.
Protein enters the gastrointestinal tract and is broken down into amino acids by pepsin and trypsin secreted by the pancreas, and then absorbed by the small intestine. Soy milk contains a trypsin inhibitor substance that can destroy the activity of trypsin, affecting the digestion and absorption of protein. Eggs contain a mucoprotein that can bind with trypsin, rendering it inactive and thus hindering the breakdown of protein.
