Soy milk buns have almost become a must-have breakfast for Chinese people, but in fact, many people are not suitable for drinking soy milk, and some soy milk can even harm human health.
One, soy milk is cold in nature. People with indigestion, belching, or poor kidney function should drink less soy milk. In addition, people with acute gastritis and chronic superficial gastritis should not eat soy products to avoid excessive stimulation of gastric acid secretion, which can aggravate the condition or cause bloating.
Two, soy milk with brown sugar is not easily absorbed by the human body. This is because brown sugar contains various organic acids, which combine with the protease in soy milk, whereas this phenomenon does not occur with white sugar.
Three, a thermos flask cannot be used to hold soy milk. The method of keeping soy milk warm in a thermos is not advisable because the warm and humid internal environment of the thermos is very conducive to bacterial growth. In addition, saponin in soy milk can also dissolve the scale in the thermos, which is harmful to human health.
Four, people with a weak constitution should not drink soy milk. Since soy milk is made from soybeans, which are high in purine content and are considered a cold food, people with a deficient and cold constitution who have symptoms such as gout, fatigue, weakness, and mental fatigue are not suitable for drinking soy milk.
Five, cook soy milk with the lid open. Soy milk must not only be brought to a boil but also cooked with the lid open. This is because only by opening the lid can the harmful substances in the soy milk be volatilized away with the steam.
Six, people taking antibiotics should not drink it. Soy milk must not be taken with antibiotics such as erythromycin, as they will have a chemical reaction. It is best to wait at least one hour after taking the antibiotic before drinking soy milk.
Seven, people with zinc deficiency should not drink it frequently. Those who often drink soy milk should pay attention to supplementing zinc. Legumes contain inhibitors, saponins, and lectins, which are all harmful to the human body. The best way to deal with them is to cook the soy milk thoroughly. People who consume soy milk long-term should not forget to supplement the trace element zinc.
