Can milk and soy milk replace each other?

A pregnant mother came to the outpatient consultation, "I have lactose intolerance and can not drink milk, so I use soymilk to replace it." Many people in life will have similar methods, but in fact "milk and soy milk can replace each other" and combined with each other. " Inaccurate, this is a common diet misunderstanding.

In fact, we usually drink milk and soy milk. Drinking milk is mainly to supplement calcium, which contains about 100-120mg of calcium per 100g of milk. The daily calcium intake of adults within 65 is 800mg, and pregnant women and lactating women are 1000mg. Ordinary people recommend drinking at least 300-500g of milk a day. It is best to drink 500g milk during pregnancy and lactating women, and then match other calcium -containing foods such as green leafy vegetables. The amount of calcium in one day is enough.

Soy milk is made of soybean. Each cup of soy milk is calculated by 200ml of dried soybeans. These soybeans contain about 10-20mg of calcium. Therefore, if you don't buy calcium to strengthen soy milk, there are very few calcium you want to rely on soy milk.

The consequences of calcium deficiency are relatively serious. For pregnant mothers and breastfeeding mothers, the risks of cramps and postpartum osteoporosis during pregnancy will be greatly increased. However, there are also many people who are not tolerated in my country. Can they only use calcium to supplement calcium? Of course not, there are other sources of calcium in diet, such as Shu Hua milk (that is, milk that does not contain lactose after processing), yogurt, etc., but pay attention to choosing low sugar or sugar -free. In short, remember: milk and soy milk cannot be replaced with each other. (Edit Li Chuang)
