I was looking over some of my Squidoo lenses, including one on healthy foods. One of the modules I have on the lens is a blog search feed, meaning the Goog does a search on a keyword that I choose, and recent blog posts or news feeds show up as links.

One in particular peaked my curiosity. The title was something like “Organic Milk Higher In Nutrients”. That’s one of those things that I’m always interested in, so I clicked and read. Unfortunately, the actual article was more along the lines of “some organic companies violate terms that make it organic”. Which was also interesting- just not what I was reading it for.

Still, I found it interesting that organic milk does have higher amounts of beneficial fatty acids, including Omega-3. Of course, organic cheese and butter will retain these beneficial nutrients as well as just the milk, and their point was that labeling a product as organic, while violating the regulations that make it organic, robs consumers of not only their money, but the nutrients as well.

That information intrigues me, though. I avoid milk since I gives me joint problems. Would the organic milk also give me problems? I may have to try it. Soy milk is all well and good in cereal, but having a nice big glass of it just isn’t the same.
