Why does Natrel milk cost more than regular milk?
Natrel fine-filters their milk to remove 92X the bacteria (alive or dead) still present in regular or organic milk after pasteurization. Pasteurization kills all bacteria, but micro- filtering removes it dead or alive. No organic milk in Canada is currently micro-filtered. Fine-filtering does not remove any of the nutrients naturally present in milk, because the nutrients are smaller than the holes in the filter. Because bacteria are larger than the holes in the filter, they are unable to pass through the filter.
