Strain those soy beans hard enough and you will get milk, although some say it still tastes like bean juice.

A slightly nutty flavor, however, has not stopped the increase of soy milk sales. Instead of opting for the plain glass of soy milk, some are turning toward flavored soy milk.

Coffee with mocha-flavored soy milk. Cereal with the vanilla flavor. Pancakes with the almond flavor. Smoothies with the strawberry flavor. Peaches, blueberry, orange and banana ... the list of flavored soy milk goes on.

But is soy milk better than dairy milk? Or tastier?

In 1999, the Food and Drug Administration approved a claim that soy products can help lower the risk of heart disease, a finding that appeared in a 1995 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. The study found that diets rich in soy protein could reduce cholesterol levels by 20 percent.

Consumers say it also helps premenopausal symptoms such as hot flashes.

"If you're going to use soy milk, read the label carefully and make sure it's been fortified and doesn't have a lot of added sugars," said Marilyn Gordon, registered dietitian at the Memorial Regional Hospital fitness center in Hollywood, Fla.
