Which is better for you?

Vitamilk

Vitamilk is another Thai brand that’s successfully established itself on our shores. Commonly sold in glass bottles (though tetra pak versions are available as well), it goes by an off-white eggshell color and relatively viscous consistency with a slick mouthfeel. Though what hits the tongue first is a milky-sweet flavor (likely from the whole milk powder in the ingredient list), it builds up on the comforting profile close to fresh taho or scratch-made soy milk with a grassy and slightly savory aftertaste. Never mind that it’s on the sweeter side; we’d happily down this as a decidedly dessert-like soy treat.

Sweetness: 4/5 | Creaminess: 3.5/5

Vitasoy

Hong Kong brand Vitasoy’s soy milk comes packaged in plastic bottles, and though its consistency veers toward the thin side, each sip delivers a slightly slippery feel on the tongue that makes for a creamier impression. It’s also on the mid-level of sweetness and bears the distinctly beany, slightly clay-tasting (but delicious) character that reminds us of fresh soy milk sold on the streets. Though it had simplistic in its approach, it provides just the right amount of comfort to let you get through a dreary afternoon.

Our Choice

We considered two factors in choosing our preferred brand.

Packaging

The choice of plastic bottle not only differentiates Vitasoy from market leader Vitamilk (glass bottle) but also makes the soy milk more portable and convenient for consumers.

Sweetness Level

Vitasoy offers lesser added sugar than that of vitamilk. Sugar consumption increases the rate of obesity and risk of having a chronic disease.

Sugar-sweetened drinks are loaded with fructose, a type of simple sugar.Consuming fructose increases your hunger and desire for food more than glucose, the main type of sugar found in starchy foods.

Sugar can also increase cellular aging. Telomeres are structures found at the end of chromosomes, which are molecules that hold part or all of your genetic information.Telomeres act as protective caps, preventing chromosomes from deteriorating or fusing together.As you grow older, telomeres naturally shorten, which causes cells to age and malfunction.
