Unsweetened fortified soy milk

Audited source card available

The short answer

Provides soy protein and, when fortified, calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12.

Evidence and scope
Food context; study findings do not grade the whole food.
Important limitation
Human trials support whole soy foods as sources of protein and, in some settings, modest lipid effects; results do not justify treating soy as medicine.
Before deciding
Soy is a common allergen. Choose unsweetened products, and check calcium, vitamin D, and B12 fortification when a drink replaces dairy.

02 / RESEARCH

Evidence map: baseline and emerging signals

The current baseline stays visually separate from credible findings that are mechanistic, responder-dependent, small, or not yet replicated.

Established / currently defensibleHuman trials support whole soy foods as sources of protein and, in some settings, modest lipid effects; results do not justify treating soy as medicine.

The general interpretation that does not depend on one unreplicated positive result. An established limitation is as important as an established benefit.

Audited evidence anchorQualified finding
PMID 16133646

A prospective study of the effects of 1-year calcium-fortified soy milk supplementation on dietary calcium intake and bone health in Chinese adolescent girls aged 14 to 16.

The abstract reports a qualified or outcome-specific signal. It does not establish a general health benefit beyond the tested form, population, comparator, and duration.

Study design

Editorial interpretation
Human trials support whole soy foods as sources of protein and, in some settings, modest lipid effects; results do not justify treating soy as medicine.
