Organic milk could offer health benefits, a study suggests, after two reviews of evidence of the potential benefits of organic milk versus conventionally farmed milk.
The study found some differences in nutrient levels: while organic milk had more omega-3 fatty acids, linked to improved heart health, and was slightly higher in iron and vitamin E, it had lower levels of iodine and selenium. Iodine is needed by the body to produce the thyroid hormone, and selenium helps protect against cell damage. Overall levels of saturated fat did not differ between the two production methods.
