Organic milk contains Omega 3 and Anti-Oxidant Higher

Organic milk contains Omega 3 and Anti-Oxidant Higher

Omega-3
Research conducted in the UK by the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research (2003) and the University of Aberdeen (2004) showed that organic milk contains omega-3 is higher (71%) than non-organic milk. So is the ratio of omega-3 and omega-6, found organic milk is better than non-organic milk.

Omega-3 are useful for reducing blood fat levels (cholesterol and triglycerides). These substances prevent blood clots caused by platelets, which did not happen blockage in the arteries, which in turn may protect the heart and blood vessels by lowering cholesterol and blood triglycerides.

As for babies, omega-3 essential for the development of nerve function and vision. Even long before the baby is born, exactly when the process of brain growth, pregnant women are encouraged to consume foods that contain omega-3.

In adulthood, omega-3 has a special role. Brain, central nervous system and spinal nerve, composed mostly of unsaturated fatty acids (essential). This nervous system damage caused by the lack of many essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6), causing memory loss in middle age and the decline of brain function significantly (premature senile dementia).

Omega-3 also plays an important role in improving immune response and inhibit some cancers. It also can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease by 50%, pressing the bad cholesterol (LDL) that reduce the risk of atherosclerosis (blockage of blood vessels) which often leads to coronary heart disease or stroke.

Vitamin E, Vitamin A and Anti-Oxidant
Jacob Holm results of research, bio-chemical experts from the Danish Institute of Agricultural Sciences in collaboration with Newcastle University in England Low Impact program Food Quality stated that organic milk contains vitamin E, vitamin A and anti-oxidants is higher than non-organic milk.

Cows are raised organically, shepherd and given fresh grass feed, milk products containing vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) 50% higher, and beta-carotene (in the body converted into vitamin A) 75% higher, and antioxidant content of lutein and zeaxanthine two to three times higher.

Drinking a pint of milk containing 17.5% organic vitamin E needed by women and 14% for men. Also contains beta carotene as much as a serving of vegetables.

Anti tumor
All milk contains terkonyugasi linoleic acid (conjugated linoleic acid = CLA) is believed to increase the immune system and reduces tumor growth. Content of CLA in organic milk is higher, this is probably due to more organic cows fed grass and natural feed than to feed berkonsentrat.

Free Pesticide Residues and Other Contamination
Milk is produced from organic cattle can reduce the risk of pesticide residues terkonsumsinya carried in milk. This is because prairie pasture cows on organic farms do not use pesticides (insecticides, or herbicides fungsida).

Dr. Vyvyan Howard, a pathologist and expert toksilogi Department of Anatomy and Cell biology Human Liverpool Universities UK, said that the increased danger of chemicals in humans has occurred since World War II when intensively managed agriculture. In the last 50 years, Dr. 300-500 Howard has traced the chemicals are potentially harmful absorbed human body.

"We have formal food safety limits are based on chemical-agriculture research. There is no toxicology tests for chemical combinations, despite the fact that these studies suggest that the effect of combining the chemicals can be more dangerous. Eat food grown organically is a way of efficiently to avoid the chemicals are. "

In December 2001, a British government report states that in a dangerous pesticide (Lindane) as much as 18% in non-milk samples throughout the UK oganik. Lindane is a hormone disruptors associated with birth-defects, sexual abnormalities, reproductive problems and breast cancer. The same reports show that the butter samples tested contain DDT, which can damage the nervous system and can cause cancer in humans. And found no pesticide residues in food samples tested organic.

Since organic food standards are strict, then the British farmers are the spearhead of the practices of organic farming Europe. The British organic farmers do not use pesticides from chemical synthesis, this means that food is guaranteed not to contain chemicals that can damage the health of the family.

Some experts believe that children are vulnerable to pesticide residue - the amount of food they consume more than adults, organ system is immature and limited ability to detoxify harmful substances such.

And the growing problem of infertility in humans are associated with pesticides. Five of the 12 suspected cases of pesticide residues as the cause of hormone disruption caused by chemicals.

Antibitotik and Fertility Hormones
Organic cows given antibiotics only when sick, unlike non-organic cows are routinely given antibiotics as a precaution. If the organic cows given antibiotics, the cows 'first resting'. In other words, the resulting milk can not be consumed as organic milk for at least 2x48 hours.

Growth hormone hypers (HPP) in cattle aims to increase cattle weight without having to be given in large quantities of feed and increase the fertility of cattle. This hormone is commonly used in cattle, sheep, poultry.

HPP can have an impact on early puberty in children, disorders of sex hormones and breast cancer. Organic cows banned use of fertility hormones.

GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms / Genetic Engineering Results organisms) organic milk produced from cows not fed from the feed containing genetically engineered organisms. Pakannya free of solvent extracts and urea, so that organic milk may contain no genetically engineered ingredients or solvent residues.

Mad Cow
Mad cow disease (Bovine spongiform encephalopathy = BSE) appeared around the 90's. The disease was once endemic in the UK and Canada in 1995 and 2001. The cause is not clear, the experts called prion, which is a living protein, as its cause. This disease causes a cow's brain turned into like a sponge or foam rubber. If the brain is like this, no longer an automatic function, and then comes physical symptoms such as madness in the cow. Stagger, no appetite, salivation, and his eyes water continuously issued.

To produce meat and milk in large quantities, cows naturally eat plants, carnivores and forced to practice cannibalism indirectly by giving feed derived from glandular stomach / abdomen other animals.


To meet the protein requirements of cattle on feed, cattle or sheep are cut, jeroannya not eaten and not thrown away as well. Rather processed, milled again to serve as animal feed as a protein source for livestock. Body parts are not sold cow made into flour. This feed is called a blood meal, bone meal, liver powder and so on. Well, that's a source of protein since the 90's is considered as a trigger and the emergence of mad cow epidemic in England and Canada in 1995 and 2001.

Organic cows never given feed derived from animals, so that no cases of mad cow found in the UK comes from organic dairy farms .
