Organic milk ‘better for you’
Organic milk is better for you than the traditional pinta, according to new research.
When scientists compared the fat content of 22 brands sold in supermarkets – and organic milk came out on top, with up to 60 per cent more polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Researchers at Newcastle University analysed the milk over a two-year period. All the milk tested was full-fat and roughly half was organic. Although the overall fat content was similar in all the milks, the organic brands had more healthy fats, reports the Journal of Dairy Science.
