Cut the risk of cancer and heart diseases by drinking organic milk
A study undertaken by Newcastle University showed that there were higher levels of vitamins, healthy fatty acids and antioxidants in organic milk than regular milk. The level of a particular fatty acid known for reducing the risk of heart diseases was up to 60% higher.
The result of such dramatic differences are down to the cow’s intake of food; the higher the grass content in its diet, the better quality milk it produces. However, at 10p more per pint of milk, consumers are not rushing to reap the organic milk’s benefits. Pricing aside, if we were all to switch over to organic milk, there just wouldn’t be enough to go around.
