“Organic milk” vs “regular milk”

Almost all adults as well as children like drinking milk. Many women enjoy “Ông Thọ” condensed milk, while many men prefer “Dutch Lady” milk! A glass of milk in the morning adds energy to the day; milk at night makes sleep more restful. From a medical point of view, milk is considered a highly nutritious drink and a complete food because of its rich “content” – full of protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins and minerals.

Milk can be classified as breast milk, cow’s milk, goat’s milk, “organic milk” or “regular milk”. Breast milk and organic milk are considered to help build a stronger and better immune system. However, “regular milk” is not necessarily bad. The following sections will review the differences between “organic milk” and “regular milk”.

“Organic milk” is produced from cows that only eat grass grown in a natural environment. The grass in these natural pastures is not affected by any type of chemical fertilizer. The cows are also not treated with hormones intended to increase milk production. In other words, “organic milk” is produced from cows raised in a natural environment without any artificial additives.

By contrast, “regular milk” is produced from cows that eat grass grown with the use of chemicals. Sometimes cows may even be kept in barns and fed only grains. The cows that produce “regular milk” can also be injected with hormones to increase their milk yield. Meanwhile, cows that produce “organic milk” are allowed to graze on naturally grown pasture.

To a certain extent, both types of milk are nutritious and safe. Even for “regular milk” produced from cows that eat chemically treated grass, many past studies have shown that the nutritional quality and safety of such “regular milk” are not affected. On the other hand, “regular milk” would not be allowed on the market if it did not meet government standards. Therefore, even when you buy “regular milk”, you can still obtain the necessary nutrients and you do not need to worry about toxins or chemicals – as long as your government truly cares about protecting public health.

Nevertheless, if you still want to be “on the safe side”, you can choose “organic milk” at a higher price, with better guarantees in terms of nutrition and safety. The price of “organic milk” is usually about twice that of regular milk. Producers of “organic milk” often guarantee that they provide only the highest quality milk through natural production methods. Although “organic milk” is more expensive than “regular milk”, many people are still willing to pay more for organic milk in order to gain safety and nutritional benefits.

Speaking of the taste of milk, many people think that “organic milk” is richer and sweeter than “regular milk”, or that breast milk tastes better than cow’s milk. They feel that “regular milk” is thinner and less sweet than organic milk. In any case, this depends on personal preference.

Ultimately, choosing “organic milk” is also a way to help protect the environment. Preferring “organic milk” also means not supporting the use of chemicals and synthetic hormones that may negatively affect the living environment around us.
