Explore the nutrients in milk and its health benefits

Have you ever come across any producer of fresh milk in India? The first thing that any producer of organic cow milk will tell you is that the milk that he produces is free from all types of antibiotics. Moreover, the organic milk of the cow does not contain bovine growth hormone. BGH is often introduced in the body of the cow to accentuate the quantity of the milk. Thirdly, the cows that produce the organic milk are grazed on pastures that are free from all types of harmful fertilizers and pesticides. Organic milk producing cows are free ranging and are fed on the natural grains and grass.

There are a number of milk companies that are taking every bit of effort to ensure that their offering contains the required nutrients in milk so that the consumer can reap in the benefits of the milk. Milk from such a company does not contain any form of antibiotic. So, what do they really do when the cow from their herd falls sick? When any cow from the herd falls sick, it is taken away from the herd for the process of treatment. During the course of treatment the cows are injected with antibiotics, however during the treatment phase, these cows are not involved in milk production. Only after the effect of antibiotics is nullified, the cow is brought back to the herd. 

There is no denial of the fact, that the cow milk is also homogenized and pasteurized just like the regular milk but that is done only to remove the impurities if any, from the milk. Those, who buy and drink country fresh milk, must have noted a gap in the price of the organic and the regular milk. Is the gap in the price really worth it? 

Fresh milk of the cow is considered to be a lot healthier than the regular milk. Inorganic milk is attained from cows that are injected with bovine growth hormones. Studies reveal that the hormone mixed milk makes the human body susceptible to hormone associated cancers. BGH may also have a negative impact on the growth hormone levels in the body. Some studies even reveal that the BGH is related to protein. So, when we consume such milk, it destroys the protein in the body from the entire acidic environment that occurs in the stomach. Thus, if you avoid this BGH mixed milk, your body will not have to face the difficulty of processing this unhealthy milk. This is the reason why experts recommend only the consumption of organic milk.
