More good news for us who cares about the environment 🙂
According to an article on timesonline.co.uk milk from organic cows are healthier than conventional milk. A study that was done in 2004 – 2005 by Newcastle University and the Danish Institute for Agricultural Science states that milk from cows eating fresh organic grass contains more good fatty acids such as omega-3 and conjugated linoleic acid known as CLA9 than milk from conventional intensive farming. The best results came from cows that were outside most of the year and had access to fresh grass. They had up to 60 per cent more CLA9.
These fatty acids are good for combating cancer, coronary heart disease and type II diabetes.
Nice to see scientific proof that organic food not only tastes better but also are healthier for us 🙂
