Ack, sorry about the lack of response, discotequi...but tecoyah posted some good stuff that is basically what is contained in the book I mentioned. My dad read this book after my stepmother was diagnosed with breast cancer, which does not run in her family. The doctor suggested no more dairy products, and my dad wanted to know why. As the article tecoyah posted explained, the bovine growth hormone has been linked (don't flame, I'm just saying linked) to breast, prostate, and colon cancer. Definitely scary stuff.
As for whoever asked about the taste of soymilk, it has its own flavor which is nothing like regular milk. I love chocolate soymilk, I think it's delicious. The only time I drink milk (which I buy organic) is in my cereal; I just don't like the soymilk taste in my cereal. There are also rice, almond, and oat varieties of milks available too.
