Whats the difference between cows milk and soya mi

The first difference is that one is from animal source and the other from plant source. As with all other animal-based foods cow’s milk is a complete protein; that is, it supplies people with all the necessary amino acids to form proteins. It is also a rich source of other nutrients. One cup provides adults with nearly a third of their daily calcium needs and about half of their vitamin B12 requirements. Lactose, the main carbohydrate in cow’s milk, poses a digestive problem for some people. These people can have soymilk. Though technically soymilk is not a milk, it is a beverage made from soybeans. It is the liquid that remains after soybeans are soaked, finely ground and then strained. And since it does not contain any lactose, soymilk is suitable for lactose intolerant folks. Soy foods are the only plant-based complete proteins. Although soymilk supplies some B vitamins, it is not a good source of B12, nor does it provide a significant amount of calcium. 

Soymilk may help reduce heart disease risk in some people. Soy naturally contains plant chemicals that help lower Low Density Lipoproteins or the ‘bad’ cholesterol, if taken as part of a healthy eating plan.
