keith Posted August 6, 2004 at 09:12 PM Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 at 09:12 PM LOL well, There's this successful long standing brand of flavoured soyamilk which is sold in Australia - It's called "So Good". I think it's manufactured by Sanitarium, a large health food company in Australia. I am forced to drink it everytime I go to visit my relatives in Sydney and Brisbane. It taste really weird! I think I prefer VitaSoy! (The HK brand) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted August 6, 2004 at 11:47 PM Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 at 11:47 PM Vitasoy is THE soybean milk. The only healthy soft drink approved by parents when I was a child. You can drink it icy cold or boiling hot, any season, any time (ad ...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChouDoufu Posted September 19, 2004 at 10:32 AM Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 at 10:32 AM Finally I finished the three one-gallon Silk (popular brand of US soy milk) Milk that I bought from Costco.It tastes awful because of the vanilla flavor that is added. Why can't American consumers drink just soy milk without any flavor added? that happens in China too.. most of the soy milk I see is sweetened with sugar... if you have a local asian supermarket they probably have more palatable (and fresher) soy milk.

Dermot Posted September 24, 2004 at 06:29 PM Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 at 06:29 PM I think okra is a type of vegetable - okara is the pulp which remains after making soy milk from soy beans. 谢谢![/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yonglan Posted September 25, 2004 at 02:48 PM Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 at 02:48 PM Why can't American consumers drink just soy milk without any flavor added? Same reason Taiwanese and Japanese can't. Only in Korea can one easily and regularly buy unsweetened soy milk. I drink Silk unsweetened which comes in a dark green container. Zero sugar added. Delicious. There's also a smaller company in Oregon that makes unsweetened soy milk, but I forget the name. Have you notice that the amercian they all ways find fault in any thing that chinese say about tofu etc. But lok in their store and they are really eating it themsleve. If they didn't come with it first they tries to get the cricreit for it like it's their idea. No, I haven't noticed that. No one claims Americans invented tofu. Few Americans eat tofu. What are you refering to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted September 25, 2004 at 03:02 PM Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 at 03:02 PM Only in Korea can one easily and regularly buy unsweetened soy milk. Now I remember I've tried such a thing once in Korea (of cuorse due to my iliteracy in korean) and it tasted ... quite unacceptable ...

sandra_49202@yahoo.com Posted September 26, 2004 at 09:02 AM Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 at 09:02 AM What I mean is why would the America say that too much tofu not good for your brain ? Where I see in health food store they sale quite a bit if int not. My fault about saying they invented it . If not good explain please. I eat quite a lot.

yonglan Posted September 26, 2004 at 05:39 PM Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 at 05:39 PM What I mean is why would the America say that too much tofu not good for your brain ? There is no American conspiracy to discredit tofu. There was a study (or more than one) that raised questions about tofu and brain shrinkage late in life. There are medical studies saying pratically everything. You don't need to make it sound as if the US government or the American people are somehow attacking tofu.
