What is so good about organic milk as opposed to conventional milk?
Organic milk is free from antibiotics, artificial hormones and the pesticides used in the commercial dairy industry. Increased demand for organic milk encourages conventional dairy farmers to “go organic”, which furthers the environmental and nutritional benefits. Organic milk is legal and is being sold in quite good amounts in most supermarkets. Better still is raw milk: this is unpasteurised milk straight from the organically pasture fed cow. Raw milk contains the delicate enzymes and essential bacteria which are destroyed with pasteurisation. It is the lack of these natural enzymes in pasteurised milk which makes it indigestible for many people. For thousands of years raw milk nourished our ancestors producing generations of strong, healthy humans. For well over a century it has been illegal to sell nature’s real milk, the raw product. Instead we have all been fed the inferior pasteurised product. But although raw milk is illegal it is sold under pseudonyms such as Aphrodite’s bath
