1105. SoyaScan FactSheet. 1996. Non-dairy products<br />
(alternatives to dairy products), which are good tasting <strong>and</strong><br />
widely available (Overview). June 22. Compiled by William<br />
Shurtleff <strong>of</strong> Soyfoods <strong>Center</strong>.<br />
• Summary: About 30 million Americans are lactose<br />
intolerant. Between 4% <strong>and</strong> 6% <strong>of</strong> infants develop allergies<br />
to the proteins in one or more foods, with cow’s <strong>milk</strong> being<br />
the most allergenic. And many <strong>other</strong> people have moral or<br />
philosophical objections to drinking <strong>milk</strong> (e.g. widespread<br />
use <strong>of</strong> antibiotics, use <strong>of</strong> genetically engineered Bovine<br />
Growth Hormone [rBGH, made by Monsanto], the suffering<br />
<strong>of</strong> calves when forcefully removed from their m<strong>other</strong>, etc.).<br />
Until quite recently, these people had to live without dairy<br />
products, but now that has all changed–thanks to <strong>soy</strong>foods,<br />
which are widely available <strong>and</strong> usually quite delicious.<br />
Foods marked with one asterisk (*) are sold at most<br />
natural food stores <strong>and</strong> some health food stores <strong>and</strong><br />
supermarkets (look in your Yellow Pages at “Health & Diet<br />
Food Products–Retail”). Foods marked with two asterisks are<br />
also sold at most supermarkets.<br />
If you use dairy alternatives regularly, you can save<br />
money by making them yourself: See the index <strong>of</strong> The Book<br />
<strong>of</strong> T<strong>of</strong>u by Shurtleff & Aoyagi (Ballantine Books edition)<br />
for carefully tested, home-scale recipes for <strong>soy</strong><strong>milk</strong>, <strong>soy</strong> ice<br />
cream, <strong>soy</strong> <strong>yogurt</strong> (from <strong>soy</strong><strong>milk</strong> or from t<strong>of</strong>u), t<strong>of</strong>u, cream<br />
cheese, sour cream, whipped cream (from t<strong>of</strong>u or <strong>soy</strong><strong>milk</strong>),<br />
tangy t<strong>of</strong>u cottage cheese, t<strong>of</strong>u icing, frozen-banana t<strong>of</strong>u<br />
shake, <strong>soy</strong><strong>milk</strong> kefi r, <strong>soy</strong> mayonnaise (from t<strong>of</strong>u or <strong>soy</strong><strong>milk</strong>),<br />
Soy<strong>milk</strong>* is the most popular type <strong>of</strong> dairy alternative. It<br />
is sold in many fl avors, <strong>of</strong>ten fortifi ed with calcium, vitamin<br />
D, antioxidants, etc. in quarts <strong>and</strong> half gallons. It costs about<br />
1.7 times as much as <strong>milk</strong> (so if a quart cow’s <strong>milk</strong> costs<br />
$1.00, a quart <strong>of</strong> <strong>soy</strong><strong>milk</strong> will cost about $1.70). Popular<br />
br<strong>and</strong>s: Eden<strong>soy</strong>, Westbrae, West<strong>soy</strong>, Vita<strong>soy</strong>, So-Yum, Silk,<br />
<strong>and</strong> Pacifi c Foods. For a tasty <strong>soy</strong><strong>milk</strong> shake, try Westbrae<br />
Malteds. Rice Dream is a delicious non-dairy rice <strong>milk</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
also an ice cream; both products are made by Imagine Foods.<br />
Many <strong>other</strong> br<strong>and</strong>s <strong>of</strong> rice beverage (some <strong>of</strong> whose quality<br />
we think is not as good) are also available.<br />
Soy ice cream* is sold in an outrageous variety <strong>of</strong><br />
fl avors <strong>and</strong> forms. Hard-pack pints are the most popular,<br />
followed by s<strong>of</strong>t-serve, ice cream s<strong>and</strong>wiches, etc. Popular<br />
br<strong>and</strong>s: T<strong>of</strong>utti, Living Rightly, Sweet Nothings (fat free),<br />
<strong>and</strong> Ice Bean. Rice Dream is a delicious rice-based non-dairy<br />
ice cream.<br />
Soy <strong>yogurt</strong>* is sold in typical small <strong>yogurt</strong> cups, in a<br />
wide variety <strong>of</strong> fl avors. The most popular br<strong>and</strong> is White<br />
Wave Dairyless. Try their Lemon-Kiwi fl avor! Most <strong>soy</strong><br />
<strong>yogurt</strong>s are fermented/cultured with live cultures, but some<br />
are like a parfait (not fermented) made by blending silken<br />
t<strong>of</strong>u, fruits, <strong>and</strong> a sweetener.<br />

T<strong>of</strong>u**, the world’s most popular <strong>soy</strong>food, is now<br />
sold at very reasonable prices in most supermarkets across<br />
America. It makes an excellent replacement for cheese in<br />
many dishes where the cheese is not required to melt: Salads,<br />
s<strong>and</strong>wiches, in Lasagna for the ricotta cheese, etc. You can<br />
also use t<strong>of</strong>u to make your own <strong>soy</strong> <strong>yogurt</strong>s <strong>and</strong> ice creams at<br />
home.<br />
Soy cream cheese*. These products, based on t<strong>of</strong>u, are<br />
delicious <strong>and</strong> moderately priced. Our favorite br<strong>and</strong> is T<strong>of</strong>utti<br />
Better than Cream Cheese, which comes in fl avors such<br />
as Garlic & Herb, French Onion, Herbs & Chives, Plain,<br />
Wildberry, or Smoked Salmon. Some bagel shops (such<br />
as Noah’s Bagels in Northern California) sell this product.<br />
VeganRella Cream Cheese (in plain & onion & dill fl avors)<br />
uses more natural ingredients (no hydrogenated oils, or<br />
mono- or diglycerides).<br />
Soy sour cream*. Again, this product is based on t<strong>of</strong>u.<br />
Our favorite br<strong>and</strong> is T<strong>of</strong>utti Sour Supreme–Better than Sour<br />
Cream.<br />
Soy cheese* is our least favorite dairy alternative. Most<br />
br<strong>and</strong>s contain casein (the protein from cow’s <strong>milk</strong>), which<br />
allows them to melt, but which also (technically) disqualifi es<br />
them from being a truly non-dairy product. A few br<strong>and</strong>s are<br />
truly non-dairy but they melt in a sort <strong>of</strong> thick puddle. Top<br />
br<strong>and</strong>s with casein: Soya Kaas, T<strong>of</strong>uRella, Zero-FatRella,<br />
HempRella (<strong>soy</strong> free), <strong>and</strong> AlmondRella (<strong>soy</strong> free). Top<br />
br<strong>and</strong>s without casein: VeganRella (2 fl avors), Soymage.<br />
Soy-based infant formula. Available at most pharmacies<br />
<strong>and</strong> many supermarkets, this is a carefully formulated <strong>and</strong><br />
regulated product designed to meet the critical needs <strong>of</strong><br />
infants when served as the sole source <strong>of</strong> nutrition. It is<br />
widely fed to infants who are allergic to cow’s <strong>milk</strong>. But note<br />
that 15% to 50% <strong>of</strong> infants with cow’s <strong>milk</strong> allergy will also<br />
develop allergies to <strong>soy</strong> protein. Soy protein was recently<br />
ranked 11th among foods in terms <strong>of</strong> allergenicity; animal<br />
proteins such as <strong>milk</strong> <strong>and</strong> eggs remain the most allergenic<br />
foods.<br />
Whip Topping**. Sold as “non-dairy whip topping”<br />
at most supermarkets, as far as we know, these all contain<br />
casein or sodium caseinate from cow’s <strong>milk</strong>. Leading br<strong>and</strong>s:<br />
CoolWhip.<br />
