Let's leave aside the fragrance, too, because it's a subjective and inconsistent indicator. What motivates many buyers of organic products, especially the parents of young children, is the health benefits.

So, in comparison with conventional milk, organic has higher levels of beneficial fats. At the same time, neither organic nor conventional milk should contain antibiotics. Each batch of milk, whether organic or conventional, is tested for drug content, including antibiotics.

"Organic" conditions in which cows contain do not always indicate the quality of the product. Today, the problem of many lands is the residue of the agricultural pesticide DDT called DDE.

And although DDT was banned many years ago, its metabolites remained in many cultivated lands, where it enters plants with animals, and then accumulates in fatty tissues. Ordinary and organic farmers have little to do to avoid residues of DDT in milk.

However, scientists promise that in the next 30-50 years the level of these toxic residues will gradually decrease below the detection limits. In addition, the problem of bacterial contamination of milk is still present, so today the US health authorities, in particular the FDA, have concluded that consumption of processed dairy products is safer.
