Thanks Judith. I have a niece and a nephew who had true cow’s milk allergies. They grew up drinking soy (I thought it smelled to gross to even try!) and seem to be doing fine, as they are both adults now. I think a lot of people don’t really know what the difference between a food intolerance and an allergy are because I think the media often uses them interchangably.
Soy it was, for me. Since it was in the late 40s, I was given soybean meal, with cod liver oil and orange juice. At the time, the milk allergy was life-threatening (I was 3 mos old) and the soy I was given still smells good to me today, even though other people detest it.
