What is in Your Milk?
Posted On June 4, 2008
Do NOT read this report and expect to ferret out what the they’re talking about.
Figure this out:
Lower input non-organic and organically produced milk has been found to contain significantly higher levels of beneficial fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants compared to higher chemical use sources, a new UK study claims.
Then this:
According to the study, higher levels of ‘desirable’ fatty acids like CLA9, omega-3 and linolenic acid and the antioxidants/vitamins vitamin E and carotenoids were found in low input non-organic and organic milk.
Here is the Science-to-English translation:
When they say, “Lower input farming”, they mean fewer chemical-based fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides in the food supply of the animals.In other words? Organic.
With lower “input” of chemicals, fertilizers, and insecticides into the cows that give you your milk, milks shows a 60 – 99 % increase in the presence of conjugated linoleic acids.
The presence of carotenoids in the same samples were also found to be 33 per cent and 50 per cent higher.
Likewise, lower levels of more fatty acids like omega-6 and CLA10, which are linked to detrimental health impacts were found in organic milk.
