Last week Newcastle University released the results of their study of 25 farms which confirmed that organic milk (milk produced from cows fed on grass rather than grain) is healthier than non-organic milk. Reported in The Telegraph (Via Treehugger), organic milk contains 67% more antioxidants and vitamins than regular milk.

Organic milk also contained 39% more Omega-3 (good stuff), 60% more conjugated linoeic acid  (good stuff) and 32% less Omega-6 (bad stuff). However it’s unlikely this study will have major ramifications in the purchasing habits of most consumers. Organic milk is more expensive than regular milk and there is not enough to go round. It costs more for farmers to produce and in these days where food produced per land area is a sacred metric, few will choose to focus on organic milk.
