Organic Milk

     The diet of a cow determines the fatty acid composition of not only the meat from the cow, but also the milk and butter. Cows eating grass produce milk with more omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) that cattle fed grain. The milk also has less omega-6 fatty acids. Unfortunately, most of the organic milk is produced by cattle consuming significant quantities of organically grown grain. For better nutrition seek out dairy products which are not only organic but also from cattle consuming primarily grass.
