Organic milk is better, say scientists – Posted in: Uncategorized
Britain’s beleaguered organic sector receives a boost today with a study that suggests organic milk is healthier than the ordinary variety.
The European Union-funded study analysed 22 brands sold in supermarkets and found that organic milk had lower levels of harmful saturated fats and more beneficial fatty acids than conventional milk.
While the Newcastle University study stopped short of saying that consumers should switch to organic milk, the lead researcher, Gillian Butler, made that recommendation when discussing her research.
