WestsoyOrganic Soy Milk, Original Plain, 8g of Protein, Vegan Dairy Alternative, Lactose-Free, Shelf Stable, 32oz (Pack of 12)

Good product quality, but a bit expensive

Many soy milks have a bit of texture but West Life is smooth & organic. Perfection!

I bought a 12-pack of my favorite "plain" soymilk from WestSoy only to discover that my first cup of coffee with this soymilk tasted different. Turns out sugar has been added! I've never added sugar to my coffee because it changes the taste, and now avoid all added sugar for health reasons. The added sugar is noted on the ingredients label, but not the front of the box. To me, "plain" means that nothing has been added, and this is the reason I have enjoyed unsweetened WestSoy soymilk for the past year - the ingredients are just organic soybeans and water, and the taste is clean and neutral. It's odd that "unsweetened" has to be specified, but not the fact that a product has been "sweetened." I remember a time when, if you wanted something sweetened, you added sugar to it yourself. Now added sugar is everywhere, explaining why we're becoming a nation of diabetics and pre-diabetics! I guess I'll have to give the rest of the boxes away at the food bank.

I get some sort of allergic reaction to other brands of plant based "milk" I assume because of all the added ingredients to make them as nutritionally equivalent to cow milk as possible. Mostly my joints will hurt mostly in my hands. No matter how delicious these other brands are I need to stick with the West Life brand -- the only plant based milk that is just the single plant ingredient in water with a little sugar & salt.

Sweetened and unsweetened versions should not be in the same listing. It’s too easy to select the wrong one. I don’t need or want added sugar to soy milk, and I thought I was getting unsweetened.
