Organic milk has more omega 3

ORGANIC milk contains almost three-quarters more of the essential fatty acid omega 3 than ordinary milk.

Research by scientists at Aberdeen University shows organic milk is an excellent source of omega 3, which is important in maintaining a healthy heart, supple and flexible joints, healthy growth, strong bones and teeth.

People could benefit significantly from drinking just half a pint a day, as organic milk contains up to 71% more omega 3 than non-organic milk. Jamie Robertson, livestock projects manager at the university, said: “Most people in the UK eat too much omega 6 and are deficient in omega 3 fatty acids, therefore drinking organic milk could redress the balance.
