Ken's right.  One example: here in Australia, the supermarket soy milks
range from less than 1% to over 7% sugar.  I used the <1% product for a
year and had no complaints.  Since going fully Paleo I have had no
recurrence of the prostate pain I had before i started taking soy in a big
way (about two litres a day)
