    My second option would be rice milk then. Soy is in everything these days, alot of processed foods, things like chicken nuggets etc (its called textured vegetable protein). Personally for me, why I chose to stop the soy (as my main form of milk, I still have it in other forms) was because.... Have you ever made soy? It STINKS, I mean really smells. Now you're probably wondering why that would put me off, mainly because the process that soy beans have to go through to actually become edible, it just can't be good imo. The soy beans have to be blended and then cooked and it just smells really "green" like some kind of poisonous plant or something lol. (of course commercial milk doesn't smell like that cause it's refined with things added.

    Personally I would rather use a safe alternative like rice, than risk using too much soy... We just don't know for sure the effects in fertility and if i were to find out in 30 years that soy DOES Infact affect it and I knew it was my fault my son could not conceive kids in the future... You get my gist. I'm not saying this to guilt trip anyone who uses soy, we still eat tofu etc.. Just my reasoning for choosing another milk over it.
