Soy Milk Nutrition- Brands Comparision
November 8th, 2008 by Homer Liao | Filed under Nutrition and health.Soy Milk Review (Original Flavor): Four Major Brands Side by Side Comparison
Soy milk sold in the U.S. market usually comes in three flavors: original (plain), vanilla and chocolate. Most soy milk brands offer these three basic flavors. Comparing a Silk Soymilk original flavor product with a Organic Valley chocolate flavor product is sort of like compare oranges with apples, it is just unfair, and does not make a lot of sense. So we did a side by side comparison and review of four major brands soy milk, all in original (plain) flavor.
Here are our picks of four major brands sold in the U.S.: 8th Continent Original Soy Milk, Organic Valley Original Soy Milk (Organic), EdenSoy Original Soy Milk, and Silk Soymilk Plain. Please click on the picture below to see the nutrition comparison chart.

I need to build up my bone density I’m 63. Started with Silk Soy because its available in my grocery store and its fortified with calcium and also Vit D. It’s hard to get vit D from food so the added D to soy milk seems to make sense.
