I suffer from calcium-oxalate kidney stones and my doctor advised me to
stop
consuming all soy products. However, as I was also told to maintain a
high
dietary calcium, which inhibits stone formation, and I don't drink cow's
milk, I still drink soy milk.

My question is this: Even though soy milk contains a high level of
oxalic
acid, most brands like Silk also contain calcium carbonate. My belief,
as a
retired chemist, is that the alkaline calcium carbonate slowly complexes
with the oxalic acid in storage and produces insoluble calcium oxalate.
In
addition, as free calcium from the calcium carbonate is liberated by
digestive hydrochloric acid, it also combines with any remaining
oxalate.

Calcium oxalate in the digestive tract is insoluble, will not move
through
the digestive mucosa, and is not a risk to kidneys. Only free oxalate
which
can form calcium oxalate in the kidneys is a risk. I would appreciate
the
opinions of knowledgeable experts.

Soy milk is NOT MILK. It is soybean juice. And it is not real food. It
has never been a traditional food except as a FERMENTED condiment.
Plus more than 80% of all soybeans grown are GMO, and it is illegal
for soy producers to indicate that the product contains GMO soy.

While there is a lot of GMO-derived soy in the marketplace, the White Wave
people, who make Silk brand soy milk, certify their product as being non-GMO
and totally organic. As far as soy milk not being real food, millions of
Oriental people and vegans would beg to differ with you. While soy milk is
not cow juice, it's certainly is healthier than the hormone and antibiotic
laden cow pus that carnivores love.
