Organic Milk

The National Dairy Council, like other main-stream agriculture organizations and food producers, say on their website, "It's great to have choices in the marketplace, but there is no difference in the safety or nutrition of organic dairy products compared with conventional dairy products." Well they aren't quite right.

A study just published in the British Journal of Nutrition (published on line at the The Cornucopia Project) finds that nursing mothers who consume organic meat and milk have higher nutritional quality in their breast milk, with a significant increase in CLA, or conjugated linoleic acid, a beneficial fatty acid.

I'll drink to that!
