OK thanks but that article is rather biased - ordinary milk is NOT full of hormones and pesticides, herbicides etc - it is 100% safe to drink. Organic milk makes me laugh, just another way to ad pseudo premium values onto an ordinary product.

in many cases yes - but in this one i think 'normal milk' is fine - but organic better - this is the next page to look at that came up in a google look at 'regular verses organic milk'.

Organic milk contains a higher quantity of vitamins and nutrients. It has 50% more Vitamin E, 75% higher beta carotene and three times the antioxidants that are contained in regular dairy milk. It is also said to contain Omega 3 essential fatty acids. This is because along with grass the cows also feed on naturally growing red clover that has a lot of Omega 3. However the quantity of Omega 3 is not all that much and a single meal of fish could give you the same amount of Omega 3 that organic milk would give you even if you drink it for one week.


Cows producing organic milk lead happy stress free lives as they are allowed to roam around and graze on grass at their own pace. Regular milk producers do not allow their cattle any freedom and always keep them cooped up in cowsheds. Organic milk producing cows are never given any bovine growth hormone (BGH) for increasing the production of milk. Organic milk has 500 % more CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) than milk from fodder fed cows. CLA increases the metabolic rate, increases immunity and reduces abdominal fat and cholesterol. However health standards ensure that cows which have been given any antibiotic is not allowed to contribute to the milk production for at least a couple of months. Regular testing is also done on the milk to see that no antibiotics are present in it.

lucerysmum, thanks for posting the original details of the price in Tesco. You shouldnt have to justify why you personally prefer to buy organic.

Normal 'non-organic' milk is available on a semi-permanent deal of 2 x 2L for £1.50 at FarmFoods. Personal preference, but I'd rather keep the extra £1.50 in my pocket. (plus the nearest Tesco is 15+ miles away)

Can't tell the difference between organic and non-organic anyway - but each to their own
