Organic dairy products may have a major nutritional advantage over conventional milk.
December 9/Seattle/KPLU -- Organic dairy products may have a major nutritional advantage over conventional milk, Washington researchers have found in a study that could affect the ongoing debate about the health benefits of organics.
A Washington State University-led team studied about 400 samples of whole milk, both traditionally produced and organic, and found a key difference in the balance of fatty acids. Organic milk seems to have a much higher proportion of omega-3s compared with omega-6s.
