In the article that i read it mainly talked about CLA's (conjugated linoleic acid) and how they are higher in cows that are feed grass compared to that of feed. The important thing about CLA's is that they are proven to be one of the biggest fighters of breast cancer. Grass feed dairy is also rich in essential fatty acids which help fight many diseases such as; cancer, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, allergies, obesity, diabetes, and dementia. To me it looks like a pretty clear choice as to which one i would chose if given a choice of dairy products. http://www.eatwild.com/articles/superhealthy.html

I already knew the difference between grainfed cows and pastured cows (organic) from my mom and my cousin when they recommended me to start purchasing organic milk. I think farmers started keeping cows confined, fed them grains and injected them with hormones every two weeks due to Americans’ demand of larger quantity and low price. Or was it greed to generate huge profit? Nevertheless, it’s time for a change and cough up a few more dollars to buy organic milk.
