Why We Drink Organic Milk

Why Drink Organic milk? What is the difference between organic milk and milk? With choices in brands, percent, production, rBST free, etc., are there benefits to these differences. One of the biggest difference’s is in how milk is produced, determining if it can be called organic or not. We are happy to partner with The National Milk Life Campaign on this post.

Organic Milk is not something scientist created in the last couple of decades. When I was a kid, milk was milk. Being the 1980s, I am sure there was changes in how it was created 100 years ago. And as I got older milk was still milk when bought from any grocery store.palm desert tripIt wasn’t until about when our first child was born when we really took full notice to pay attention to what we were buying for our kid. In college I had learned a little about what the term organic defined, especially in regards to food.

The Organic Milk Difference

The real difference between organic Milk and others really boils down to a few major differences. These for the most part include food free of GMO’s and pesticides, no growth hormones, or antibiotics used.

USDA requires organic foods to follow standards starting with the requirement that farms use organic-approved substances for crops and animals including:

  • No synthetic fertilizers & pesticides (there are organic variants to these, but not even always used)
  • No use of growth hormones or antibiotics
  • No use of genetically modified (GMO) crops for animal feed

How Organic Milk Can Help

Not only is organic production easier on the environment it is a good source of protein for us humans. With protein so important for growing kids to active adults, many people do not get the amount of protein they need throughout the day. Many experts recommend 25-30 grams at each meal for adults, with many people get half that.Organic Milk and hearty breakfast toastOrganic milk is a good source for protein and is used in our home from drinks, to cooking, to desserts. From whipping my eggs with a little milk for omelets, frittatas, scrambled eggs; or used for French toast, cereal, a glass of organic milk, to and that is just breakfast. The kids also love their chocolate and other flavored milk and its great mixed after a hard workout.glass of Organic MilkThere really is a difference with organic milk vs non, and it may have not been something to think about in the past, so I wanted to why we use and have always used organic milk with our kids in our home.

    I very much agree that Organic Milk are the best when it comes to health. I always used to take Organic ones when we were living in our hometown, but it has a been a distant thing these days.

    My husband prefers everything organic. At first, I never really understood it but now I do and support him. It is expensive but so worth it.

    I’m a big fan of organic food too. Never had organic milk, though! It might be more a bit expensive, it’s totally worth the investment!

    I also remember those days when milk is just milk but now that people are more conscious with what we eat and drink, people go for organic produce. This is a very informative post, never knew that organic milk and the milk were usually having has such big difference and impact to our health.

    I should really switch to organic milk. Right now I’ve been using soy milk. Regular cows milk usually doesn’t go well with my stomach. I’ll have to try out some organic milk next time.

    Such a great way to improve your protein intake! Milk seems like such an easy thing to buy at the grocery store, however with new researches and studies-it’s becoming a topic that one should really research and choose wisely. With the different types of A1 & A2 milks, organic or non organic–all of these factors could result in a great change in your body and its digestion!

    I have never tried organic milk before but I will have to try it for sure. It is so much healthier for you with no antibiotics or GMO. Thanks for sharing the information.

    I personally don’t care for milk. I will drink it every now and then. I want to try organic but it’s like 8 dollars a gallon in Texas. This is a bit over my budget especially if we end up wasting it from time to time.

    Seriously, I cannot believe how much extra “stuff” is in our milk these days. I miss milk just being milk

    I have my milk delivered, so it;s not organic, but I get why people do 🙂

    Organic milk is one of the best things to start out on if you’re moving to organic. So much goes into milk production that it pays to buy organic.

    We drink local organic, too. With the amount we drink, I cannot imagine giving all of those growth hormones to my girls!

    I haven’t drank milk in a very long time, and now I’m starting to get lactose intolerant, so I may not every bother again. My husband, however, LOVES milk, and organic is definitely something I need to be looking into more!

  26. Jeanette says

    02/29/2016 at 2:20 pm

    I have never done Organic for milk. I have to buy lactose free, but I have a friend that does everything organic and loves it.
