Milk lovers out there, here is some very good news: a recent study indicates that the very versatile dairy product is not only an excellent source of vitamins and calcium for the human body, but also has the ability to cut back on our chances to develop heart disease and cancer. There’s one catch, though – experts say that we have to do our best to drink organic milk rather than regular milk, as the organic variety was proven to contain significantly higher levels of health-boosting fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants.
However, there are a series of drawbacks to the “organic milk for everyone” approach – starting with the fact that even if we were all willing to pay more for a pint of milk, there’s nowhere near enough milk available to satisfy our daily needs. Organic milk is more expensive to produce as you get less milk per unit of land and it is more expensive to buy, but because it is higher in all these beneficial compounds you don’t need to buy as much to get the health benefits.
