Patient's question:
It is said that eggs and soy milk cannot be consumed together, as it reduces nutrition. Then what about eating soy milk after finishing eggs and steamed buns with eggs? Can eggs and soy milk be consumed together?Doctor's answer:
Soy milk and eggs are both the most inexpensive high-protein nutritional foods, but these two foods are best not eaten together. The reason is: because the mucin protein in eggs combines with trypsin in soy milk to produce substances that are not easily absorbed by the human body, thus losing their nutritional value. Additionally, soy milk must be thoroughly cooked. Soybeans contain trypsin inhibitors, which are largely destroyed during the processing of soy milk, but a small amount still remains. If the soy milk is not cooked properly, drinking it can be harmful to health.
