Will drinking too much soy milk cause kidney stones?

Clinically, many diseases are closely related to diet. Stones are a very troubling problem for many people. There are many causes of stones, and dietary factors cannot be ruled out. Some patients with stones particularly like to drink soy milk. For most people, soy milk is a health drink, which is good for people's health. But does anyone worry that drinking too much soy milk will cause kidney stones?

1. Drinking too much soy milk will not cause kidney stones. The calcium content of soy milk is not very high. Kidney stones are mainly caused by eating too much calcium-supplemented food and drinking too little water and urinating too little for a long time. Kidney stones are caused by the accumulation of urate, calcium, phosphate, etc. in the kidneys. The food in the city mainly contains a large amount of protein, which does not have a big impact on the formation of stones. You can still eat soy products.

2. Soy milk is a drink rich in protein, but it will not be consumed as calories but will truly play a role in constructing new tissues and repairing old tissues only after taking in enough starchy foods. If you drink soy milk on an empty stomach, it can only replace starch as calories. This not only wastes protein, but also makes the body's nutrition unbalanced, thereby increasing the burden on the digestive and urinary systems. It is therefore extremely uneconomical. Drinking soy milk on an empty stomach has nothing to do with kidney stones.

3. The correct way to drink soy milk is to eat it with foods rich in carbohydrates and starch, such as biscuits, steamed buns, bread, etc., or drink it 1 to 2 hours after breakfast. In this way, soy milk can undergo a relatively complete enzymatic hydrolysis with gastric juice in the stomach, and can balance the diet, facilitate digestion and absorption, fully exert the nutritional effects of protein, and allow nutrients to be fully absorbed by the human body, thus benefiting human health.
