Flavoured soy milk is nutritionally close to cow's milk. It naturally has about the same amount of protein (though not the same amino acid profile) as cow's milk. Most of the flavoured soy milk is hence fortified with calcium.
Unlike cow's milk, it has little or no cholesterol.
Flavoured soy milk also contains sucrose as the basic disaccharide, which breaks down into glucose and fructose. Since soy doesn't contain galactose, a product of lactose breakdown, soy-based infant formulas can safely replace breast milk in children with lactose intolerance.
