Organic Milk

The most important food to buy organic is milk.

Organic milk is produced without antibiotics. Antibiotic overuse leads to resistant bacteria. Organic milk is produced without synthetic hormones. Bovine growth hormone (BGH) is given to factory cows to stimulate milk production. Synthetic hormones are dangerous and can cause dramatic changes in human beings. Organic milk is produced without herbicides or pesticides.

Beside the health benefits to humans, organic cows have access to open air and graze freely on organic land. They are not forced into production levels beyond their natural capacity and they are given 100% organic feed.

As with any organic product, organic milk is higher in vitamins and nutrients. A study shows that organic milk has higher levels of Vitamin E, omega 3 essential fatty acids and antioxidants which help fight infections. Organic milk also contains 75% more beta carotene which is converted to vitamin A in the body.
