Bonsoy Non Organic Milk 1 Litre (Pack of 6)

Product Information

The name "Bonsoy" comes from the French meaning "wonderful soybeans". Created by Japanese soy masters perfected over many centuries, Bonsoy is a truly healthy and nutritious drink tthat froths as good as any dairy milk. Whether you prefer a glass or a cup, it’s important any establishment keeps its receptacles on top of the coffee machine so that they’re warmed. The Conclusion A few outlets add in a step or two to allow for latte art. Early on a grey Sunday morning, Karol, from Kaffeine on Great Titchfield Street in the West End, pours a small amount of steamed milk onto the espresso which is already in a latte glass and then stirs the two into a deep brown mixture before adding the rest of the steamed milk and drawing a pretty leaf. Other baristas who are in more of a rush might swirl the vessel around while they pour the steamed milk straight onto the espresso. While dieters and cow-friends may love soya milk, coffee purists – and increasingly nutritionists – do not. “How do you make a good soya latte?” said one coffee know-it-all at the UK Aeropress Championships. “Start by throwing away the soya milk.”

No artificial additives and preservatives added. No added colours, chemicals or flavours. No added oils. No kombu (sea vegetables) added. Bonsoy is made mainly from organically grown soybeans, which contain only vegetable proteins and has no animal cholesterol content.

Yes, the soybeans used are GMO Free that adheres to the organic standards. The use of genetic engineering, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), is prohibited in organic products. This means an organic farmer can’t plant GMO seeds. An aliquot of Bonsoy milk was analysed for iodine content using a plasma mass spectrometer (Department of Biochemistry, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, NSW), which showed an iodine concentration of 25 000 μg/L. In comparison, the levels of iodine in other soy milks that were analysed ranged from 15 μg/L to 281 μg/L ( Box 2). Bonsoy is also a healthy alternative for coconut milk or milk and sugar in the cooking of local dishes like curry or laksa.

In 2010, a soy milk product containing kombu seaweed was recalled following nine cases of people with thyroid problems. The product was subsequently reformulated to make it safe to consume and was returned to sale. The following information was provided at the time. The World Health Organization was notified of the iodine toxicity of the Bonsoy milk, which was withdrawn from sale in a number of other countries. 10 Between January and June 2010, 48 retrospective Australian cases of thyroid dysfunction associated with this brand of soy milk were also notified to local public health authorities (Katrina Knope, Coordinating Epidemiologist, OzFoodNet, Office of Health Protection, Department of Health and Ageing, June 2010, personal communication). A cluster of cases of thyrotoxicosis, linked to iodine toxicity from an unidentified soy milk, was also reported in New Zealand in 2005. 11 Such resistance and over-reliance on the Bonsoy brand, has, for my money, lead to all of the ten aforementioned establishments being beaten on taste by the soya lattes served up at M&S. Smooth, silky and with hints of coconut. The Future –

Bonsoy Milk

Some people have tried to make their own soymilk at home just as they made peanut butter and guava jelly. But health authorities have cautioned against preparing soymilk on your own at home due to some natural components in a soybean which, when not removed, can pose some health hazards. Soy is a complete protein, making it the most nutrient-dense of the plant-based milks. With approximately 3.3g of high quality protein per 100ml, it’s comparable to dairy milk in this respect. It’s also a good source of vitamin B2, which helps convert food into energy. Choose unsweetened versions for maximum nutritional benefit. Oat milk

No, Bonsoy soymilk as a finished product is not certified organic although we use certified 100% Organic whole soybeans. Oat milk is a great choice for post-run recovery because of its carb, fibre and protein content. A 200ml glass provides approximately 10% of your daily fibre target, which is comparable to a serving of vegetables. It has less protein than cow’s milk but beats both nut and coconut milk hands down, and contains a similar number of calories to semi-skimmed milk. Coconut milk Characteristics of a cluster of eight adult patients in whom thyroid dysfunction was attributed to consumption of Bonsoy, a brand of soy milk manufactured with seaweed, November 2008 to December 2009* Energy: 482kJ, Protein: 8.2g, Total Fat: 4.4g (Saturated Fat: 0.6g, Trans Fat: 0g), Cholesterol: 0mg, Total Carbohydrate: 11g (Sugars 4.4g), Sodium: 94mg, Potassium: 375mg, Calcium: 51mg.Bonsoy soymilk is healthier and more nutritious: Bonsoy Soymilk is an excellent source of vegetable protein, has less than 5% fat and is low in cholesterol.

In November 2008, a 36-year-old woman (Patient 1, Box 1) presented with a mildly elevated serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level detected during screening for in vitro fertilisation. As she tested negative for thyroid antibodies, her urinary iodine level was measured to exclude iodine deficiency; this level was markedly elevated at 4445 μg/L (reference range [RR], < 200 μg/L). The source of the excess iodine was unclear until the patient did an internet search and identified that the soy milk she had been drinking (Bonsoy) contained kombu 1 , 2 — a type of seaweed. The patient ceased drinking the soy milk, which resulted in rapid normalisation of her TSH level. Three months later, a 38-year-old man (Patient 2, Box 1) presented with florid thyrotoxicosis. Minimal uptake of technetium on a thyroid scan and absence of TSH receptor antibodies essentially excluded Graves disease. The scan result, in combination with his elevated urinary iodine level (1278 μg/L), indicated that iodine toxicity was the most likely cause of the thyrotoxicosis. He drank brands of soy milk other than Bonsoy, but also drank Bonsoy in takeaway coffee. After he ceased drinking all soy milk, his symptoms rapidly abated and his serum TSH level normalised 3 months later. Food Standards Australia New Zealand. National product recall — Bonsoy soy milk with very high levels of iodine [media release]. 24 Dec 2009. http://www.foodstandards.gov.au/scienceandeducation/newsroom/mediareleases/mediareleases2009/nationalproductrecal 4651.cfm (accessed Apr 2010).Bonsoy Soymilk is processed by heat above 130 degrees Celsius which kills the harmful factors and bacteria innate in an unprocessed soybean. Our Bonsoy also contains Job’s Tears or Hatomugi (Japanese Pearl Barley) to boost nutritional value and taste.
