Whats the difference between lactaid and soymilk?

Question

i thought they were both lactose free, but they taste different?..

Answer 1

Lactain also sell a milk that has been treated with the enzyme.

The milk is regular cow's milk, but the lactose content should be close to zero.

Soy milk is "milk" made from soy beans, which does not contain Lactose.

Lactose, the primary carbohydrate in cow's milk, poses a digestive problem for some people. These folks are deficient in the lactase enzyme that's needed to break down this milk sugar, causing gas, bloating, and diarrhea after consuming some forms of dairy products. The solution is to purchase products with the lactose already broken down, to take the enzyme in the form of a pill or drops, or to find a substitute for these foods.

Soymilk is not technically a milk, but a beverage made from soybeans. It is the liquid that remains after soybeans are soaked, finely ground, and then strained. Since it doesn't contain any lactose, soymilk is suitable for lactose intolerant folks. It's also a popular cow's milk substitute for vegetarians since it's based on a plant source (others include rice, oat, almond, coconut, and potato milk).

Answer 2

Soy milk is made out of soy and usually vegetarians drink it.... lactaid is for those who are lactose intolerant and it is real with lactose removed...

Answer 3

lactaid is for milk for lactose intolerant soymilk is milk made out of soy

Answer 4

Lactaid is real milk - from animals - with the lactose removed. Soymilk is milk made from soybeans and water through a filtering process, and naturally is lactose free. I prefer soymilk.
