Hi,

check it out, organic milk and cheese has decent amounts of omega 3 FAs.........

The results of a new research project conducted at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, confirm that organic milk is a good source of omega 3 fats. When compared to conventional milk, organic milk was found to contain up to 71% more omega 3 and to have a better ratio of anti-inflammatory omega 3: pro-inflammatory omega 6 fatty acids.

The scientists believe the more natural diet of organically fed cows, which is rich in red clover, resulted in the animals' production of milk much richer in omega 3.

Sally Bagenal, Chief Executive of the UK's leading organic dairy foaming cooperative, OMSCo, said, "This research confirms the potential health benefits of switching to organic milk and cheese - particularly for those groups who don't consume the recommended amount of oily fish." Drinking just 10 ounces a day of organic milk provides approximately 10% of the UK's DRI for the omega 3 fat, alpha-linolenic acid. Organic cheese is an even better source, with a matchbox sized piece of organic cheese providing up to 88% of the RDI of this omega 3 fat.

i have recently changed over to organic milk after reading a similar article in muscle & fitness.........tastes nicer imo aswell

Luber, do you drink whole milk 4% fat?

I would ideally buy 4% organice milk from sainsburys or somewhere but I've head bad things about homogenised milk and heart disease.

The jersey gold top milk is not homogenised but is a lot more expensive.

Can anyone confirm if it is true homogenised milk is bad for the heart/arteries?

Cheers.

I buy mine from tescos mate & it's semi-skimmed
