I am a breast cancer survivor who had an estrogen positive breast tumor who is excited about health food markets like Whole Foods, Lazy Acres, Mothers and restaurants like True Foods that steam more than cow and soy milk. They also steam organic almond and coconut milk which are good choices for someone who is sensitive to foods that possibly boosts estrogen positive tumor growth.
The jury is mixed on whether or not to avoid soy milk (fermented, non-processed, non-refined soy in small quantities like those found in miso soup is healthy; processed refined is different and has been linked to cancers in animals). So, please start offering organic almond and coconut milk options for someone like me who desperately wants to sip a hot beverage at your location but currently can't find something on your drink menu for me other than hot water. Thank you.
Note:
The following link provides a glimpse into the controversy of soy. Basically soy that is natural and fermented vs refined and processed is better in general which means non organic highly procrssed soy milk would not be a great first choice for someone who has had an estrogen positive breast cancer tumor. Read the article as well as the posts by others to find both sides of the argument:
