Benefits Of Organic MilkMilk has become a stable in our homes. What are the benefits of organic milk? And should we really be serving organic milk instead? The short answer is yes. Now, let's take a look at why... Most milk is produced on large dairy farms. It has become big business. Crowded quarters increase the chances of illness in the animals. With illness or infections, the animals need to be treated. The medicine would transfer to the milk. It is true that the ethical farmer would destroy the milk until it was clear of medicine. A high cost for a business. Any hormones given to cows to increase milk production also transfers to the milk. When you, in turn drink it, you are also medicated. Further, hormones to increase milk production aren't used. Chemical pesticides aren't used on the farm. And should the animal require medication, records are kept. This milk would be kept out of production. Cow's milk is related to many childhood illness. Including juvenile diabetes. Studies may well reveal an allergic type reaction. How can this be... You see, milk is a perfect food for calves. But not for you. The ratio of calcium to magnesium is not in the right proportion for absorption. The proteins are for calves as well. As an example of its effects on children, take my step-daughter. She had a cold that she just couldn't shake. Or so we thought... We took her to see the doctor. And what was his recommendation? You quessed it. He had her go off of milk and she got better. Mucous was no longer a problem. So if your kids suffer from lots of infections, are mucous-ie or have GI problems, try taking them off of cow's milk. Otherwise, if you love milk, go with organic. The benefits of organic milk with the absence of
antibiotics,
hormones and
pesticides
would certainly contribute to better health. Return From Benefits Of Organic Milk to Organic Food Benefits
