Cooking recipes Bio links Find a producer Organic milk sector News The interests of milk Milk and dairy products represent a family of foods that are essential for our nutritional balance. Their main nutritional advantages are their richness in proteins (containing all the essential amino acids), in vitamins B2 and B12 (carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism), in vitamin A (vision, protection of the skin, resistance to infections) and especially in calcium (bone capital). Allergy to cow's milk protein is uncommon. It affects 2 to 3% of children under 2 years old and then disappears in most cases. Some people who are lactose intolerant may experience digestive problems when they drink too much milk. They can however consume it in small quantities, or in the form of yoghurts and cheeses. Milk contains 120 mg of calcium per 100 ml, fresh vegetables 35 mg / 100 g and citrus fruits 20 to 40 mg / 100 g. The differences between organic and conventional milk Fat has the ability to store and concentrate all toxic materials (eg: PCBs, pesticides, etc.) present in its environment, hence the importance of choosing "organic" milk. Nutritional quality The diet based on grass in "Organic Farming" results in a nutritional quality of organic milk superior to conventional milk. In organic milk, we find: A composition richer in polyunsaturated fatty acids; Less use of production concentrates (grazing meadows rich in legumes makes it possible to reduce the levels of monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids); Milk richer in omega-3 (reduction of diabetes, prevention of inflammatory diseases (asthma) and strengthening of immune functions); A better profile in conjugated linoleic acid. This lipidic compound must necessarily be provided by human food; it contributes to better health (prevention of cancer, better blood circulation); An improved profile in vitamin E and beta-carotene; An optimum omega-3 / omega-6 ratio for health. Sanitary quality Farmers in organic production mode implement a series of alternative agricultural practices which comply with rigorous specifications, strictly prohibiting the use of phytosanitary products; As a precautionary principle, antibiotics are only used exceptionally in cases of strict necessity (keeping the animal alive). This is why, at Biolait, in the organic milk collected and analyzed, we do not find: No pesticide residue; No residue of veterinary drugs which reduces: the risks of direct toxicity on the human organism, the risks associated with the modification of the digestive flora, microbiological risks; No antibiotic substance likely to cause antibiotic resistance.
