Choose Organic Milk to help offset global warming

[Richard D]

Wetter, cooler summers can have a detrimental effect on the milk we drink, according to new research published by Newcastle University.

Researchers found milk collected during a particularly poor UK summer and the following winter had significantly higher saturated fat content and far less beneficial fatty acids than in a more 'normal' year.

But they also discovered that switching to organic milk could help overcome these problems. Organic supermarket milk showed higher levels of nutritionally beneficial fatty acids compared with 'ordinary' milk regardless of the time of year or weather conditions.

The study, which is published in this month's Journal of Dairy Science (January 2011), leads on from previous research undertaken nearly three years ago which looked at the difference between organic and conventional milk at its source -- on the farms.

1. Don't you just love the Double Speak... Organic Milk vs Ordinary Milk.

What is so ordinary about the milk that is full of crap, but cheaper.. vs natural milk.. Shouldn't the "ordinary" naturally be the "organic" and their "ordinary" be called chemically enhanced human tampered with milk variation? Sad isn't it that we have to label naturally grown products with "organic" and the cheaper, chemically engineered crap gets the "ordinary" label.. What is so ordinary about this?
