Organic Milk Enhances Nutritional Quality by Shifting Fatty Acid Composition
- tokenadult 13y agoThe article presents fairly strong evidence that different nutrients show up in that kind of milk, yes. But the evidence that those nutrients have "enhanced quality" for actual living human beings is much more ambiguous. I have been persuaded enough by that ambiguous evidence to take daily omega-3 (ω-3) supplements for several years, but I think the best-quality epidemiological evidence actually doesn't support my personal habit. In other words, it may be that one kind of milk rather than another has more ω-3 fatty acid content, but it may also be that if all people drank that kind of milk rather than what they currently drink that there would be no human health benefit at all. It would take a different kind of study, based on different data, to establish whether or not there is a health benefit to this kind of milk.
