I've been buying this product for many years. In recent months it has disappeared entirely at multiple stores in Pattaya. I can't find it on the vsoy website so I'm assuming it's discontinued.

 

V-soy hi calcium no sugar soy milk

 

 

So what's up with that?

 

I thought the Thai government was encouraging NO SUGAR options?

 

This was a great product because it was sold in juicebox non refrigerated packs of six. I only used 1/2 a box each time. It would keep then in the fridge for about a week. 

 

There are other brand products but not as convenient. Like small portion refrigerated no sugar soy milk with a soon expiration date and U.S. imported brands, large size, one box, you need to use in about a week after opening. It's expensive and I would end up having to waste most of it as I don't want that much soy milk in a week. 

 

Anyway, assuming it's really over, I get it was a business decision but I really think the government should do more to force big companies to offer at least ONE no sugar option even if it's a small seller. For people that want (OR NEED) to avoid sugar, it really shouldn't be this HARD. 

 

Or maybe I'm wrong and it will start showing up again. Yeah, sure.

 

Oh well. Rant over. 

You know no-sugar is healthy so there is no market for it in Thailand.

 

Since the sugar tax few no-sugar products have been removed from the shelves. One should think different, but it's not.

 

In Makro they have for example removed all sugar free coke and pepsi since at least 2 months, and replaced by bigger bottles of sugar laden coke.

 

Sugar free green tea, you will lately also have a hard time to find.

Are you male? You might google some of the effects of soya on men's hormones.  Not definitive research but enough to scare me away from the stuff.

I'm aware. My thyroid is already shot so can't shrink it more. Like I said I don't drink much soy milk but when I do, I want it no sugar. I do eat tofu 2 or 3 times a week. Health issues of soy are a separate and perhaps more controversial question. Limiting sugar is a no brainer. 

It is not gone! They have changed the design of the pack and selling now 3 instead of 6 with an increase of about 2 baht/carton.

unless you love MANBOOBS, low T, you better stop SOY drinking

I have seen 3 packs of various choices. Not the same choice as before though! I see a supposedly low sugar. No no sugar as before. I've been checking at multiple stores every time. It's really a drag because sometimes the section is large.

No it doesn't.

Everything in moderation. The topic is about the missing product and dearth of no sugar options. It's hard to limit sugar because it's in so many foods already.

Maybe you missed it. I don't drink much of it. But I detest cows milk. To me that's for kids.

Yes that's true but once you open you have a week to consume. Doesn't work for me.

Not in the Makro where i shop.. still got coke zero and pepsi without sugar.. the strange thing is though even though sugar is taxed more the prices of both are the same.

Could be worse. Not sure if it's still true, but in the U.S. "health" products like low salt are/were majorly marked up from the same product with high salt. That's outrageous. I used to buy German corn flakes here. There was a choice no sugar or regular sugar. The no sugar option was much more expensive. Pay more for less ingredients. Wow. I still bought it but they discontinued selling that in Thailand years ago. Not surprising that it didn't sell well, I would assume it would have sold better if they had the same price.  Now there are no no sugar cornflakes sold here.

You sure they still have the 1.25L bottles, because the small bottles they also still have here.

I am not sure because I normally buy the smaller bottles my apologies.

Real milk is sold sugar free. Why not drink real milk?

I also have trouble finding sugar   free products. I did find a new 

 Lactose free milk , little white packs with black writing on. When those run out, I get the Almond milk ( American diamond company) they have three options, one is nearly sugar free with only 30 calories. The Thai ones are full of sugar. They come at 20 b a brick, at my local 7/11 or Villa store they’ll order  it for me if they run out, sometimes promotions. These are great for cereals , porridge, drinking. Rice milk is also an option if you can find it sugar free. 

Soy turns men into effete pansies. Don't drink it.

When you reach a government level as did Comey, it should be PERMANENTLY INGRAINED that you keep your mouth shut. I saw the 20/20 interview, will NOT read the book, but I imagine between the book and the interview there will be some breach of security information. I've read the Trump people are coming after Comey, and as much as there is NO ONE who can't stand Trump more than I, an example should be made here.

You're right, packaging changed  as you say. I bought a stock in Nakhon Sawan yesterday, didn't mention no sugar in English but was the same product.

No other company sells sugar free.

That doesn't make any sense. If it was no sugar it would be on the box like it has been for years.

Look, please keep the obnoxious alt-right propaganda out of this thread. It's a thread about stock of a product. This is not a PEPE the FROG friendly zone.

Because I hate it. 

I usually buy the low sugar version of Lactasoy, i think it's 3%.

I've been drinking daily for a few months, no man boobs yet.

I'd be interested if anyone has actually developed man boobs? I'm guessing they were developing them anyway

It is possible you get high estrogen and then gyno from this.. but not likely if you havent have them yet. Depends a bit on how much of it you use. 

 

After 2 months, men consuming diets containing soy protein rich in isoflavones had blood estrogen levels slightly higher than men consuming milk protein, although the increase was not statistically significant. However, men eating soy protein with most of the isoflavones removed had significantly higher estrogen levels than men eating milk protein. The researchers conducting this small study concluded that these effects were "minor."

 

is dose dependent of course.
