Like skim cow's milk, light soy milk is very rich in protein and vitamin D and has no saturated fat.
But at only 70 calories per cup (versus 80 to 90 in fat-free milk), soy also delivers half the recommended daily value of energizing B vitamins.
Plus, soy's isoflavones may keep you away from the hospital.
A particular study of about 65,000 women found that 16 grams of soy protein daily — about 2 cups of soy milk — reduced risk of heart disease and heart attack by a whooping 75 - 86 percent respectively.
The very plain light kind has a delicate, nutty flavor.
Or try the rich Silk Light vanilla or chocolate varieties and you will be glad you did.
