Organic milk 'no better than conventional', says FSA

Organic milk contains higher levels of short-chain omega-3 fatty acids than conventional milk but, according to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), this does not mean that it confers additional health benefits. Concluding an assessment of evidence provided by the University of Glasgow on the nutritional differences between organic and conventional milk, the FSA said that organic milk does not provide health benefits over and above those obtained from regular milk. The body can convert short-chain fatty acids into beneficial long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, which are found only in oily fish and have been shown to protect against cardiovascular disease. However, the FSA claims that the conversion rate is "very limited", thereby making organic milk no better or worse than conventionally-produced milk. As a result, the FSA insists that oily fish is currently the best way to obtain the required amount of omega-3 and recommends that adults consume at least two portions of fish each week.
