Recent research showed that organic milk contained 25% less
omega-6 fats and 62% more beneficial omega-3 fats than conventional milk.
Those who drank conventional milk had a 2.5-fold higher
omega-6 to omega-3 ratio than those who drank organic milk (a higher ratio is
linked to chronic disease).
Organic milk also contained greater amounts of conjugated
linoleic acid (CLA), a cancer-fighting fatty acid.
Organic milk is much more likely to come from cows that have
been (at least partially) grass-fed, which is linked to more nutritious milk.
