BACKGROUND:
Soy drink it’s a popular alternative to milk, is recommended to
allergic to cow's milk protein, lactose intolerant, vegans individuals and to the
population that wants an option. The work aims to compare soy drink to milk in
nutritional levels and how the consumers of an academic community choose
soy drinks.
METHODS:
A scientific review was performed, and articles since 2010 were
analysed regarding the nutritional information. An online questionnaire was
applied in the academic population of a health school in Portugal with the
intention to evaluate the percentage of people that consumed soy drinks and
their reasons.
RESULTS:
The questionnaire results showed that 31.2% of the population
consumes soy drink and 42% finds soy drink healthier than milk and that is the
main reason to drink soy milk. The nutritional research shows that comparing
soy drink with half-fat cow's milk; it has 23% more lipids, 33% more calcium,
63% fewer carbohydrates and approximately the same amount of protein.
CONCLUSION:
Although some individuals consider soy drink healthier than
milk, nutritionally both options are not similar and nutritional education is
needed to clarify this concept and provide better food choices.
