You can drink it on an empty stomach.

Do not drink soy milk on an empty stomach. This view has no basis. Drinking soy milk on an empty stomach will not have any impact on health, but for some people with stomach problems (such as gastritis patients), drinking soy milk on an empty stomach may cause irritation to the stomach and make them feel uncomfortable. But for healthy people, drinking a cup of sweet soy milk when hungry is not only beneficial to supplementing nutrients, but also enhances the feeling of satiety.

Misunderstandings about soy milk

Compared with milk, Chinese people are more suitable to drink soy milk. There are rumors that Chinese people are more suitable to drink soy milk in terms of physiological structure and eating habits, because Chinese people eat more grains, and soy milk and grains are more nutritious than milk.

In fact, it is purely a misinformation that Chinese people’s constitution is not suitable for drinking milk. In terms of nutritional content, both have their own characteristics. Milk not only contains vitamins A and D that are not found in soy milk, but It also contains more calcium than soy milk, which contains soy isoflavones, soy oligosaccharides and dietary fiber that are not found in milk.

Therefore, there is no reliable basis for the statement that soy milk and cereals are nutritionally more complementary. While Chinese people drink soy milk, they should also drink milk in moderation.
