According to a recent study, "Whole milk from organic dairies contains far more of some of the fatty acids that contribute to a healthy heart than conventional milk". This is because cows that provide organic milk consume a grassy plant based diet, high in omega-3s (found in flax seed and fish). Cows that provide conventional milk are fed a diet primarily of corn, which is high in omega-6s (often found in fried foods). In the study, 384 samples of organic and conventional whole milk were taken for 18 months from around the country. The amount of fat was the same, but organic milk had 62% more omega-3s and 25% fewer omega-6s.
Omega-3s can help lower triglycerides and blood pressure. They may also help with rheumatoid arthritis, depression, and more.
Verdict: Swap out the name brand toilet paper and upgrade to organic!
