For me it about broke even because my milk would usually go bad before I could finish it. Love the longer shelf life of organic, in addition, we buy 1% and it tastes like whole milk. Non-organic was like water.

That's why I buy it. I can buy a whole gallon of it and don't have to worry about it going bad before I can use it.

I love organic milk. My father buys that kind of milk. It has been worth it. It lasts longer, and it tastes better. It costs a little bit more, but for what it is, it's good stuff.

The number one thing for me is that it tastes better. Sweeter and creamier.

The second thing is, I think a bit about how things have changed over the past, let's say 40-50 years in terms of what people look like. There are 3 things that are a little puzzling for me, that I think are related to chemicals in foods:
1. Girls are hitting puberty way earlier these days. Normal is more like 10 instead of 14 or 16.
2. Women are much bustier than they used to be. Some of this might be related to weight, but I don't think so. There are way more "large breasted" women of all sizes these days, compared to before.
3. Our (women's) waists are much much bigger, and this is outside of weight. If you compare the measurements of let's say Hollywood actresses of the 50s, they were something like 34-22-35, with many women having waists under 22 inches. Even normal women had tiny waists (my mom did! As did her siblings) Now, even the thinnest models are hovering around 24-25 inches. Small of course, but much bigger than what was small back then. I'd imagine that 24-25 was pretty average in the 50s. Even today, on "thinner" women, waists are larger. Also, our collective waist hip ratio is decreasing, which leads me to believe all of our collective weight gain is mostly concentrated in our stomachs, and not a reflection of overall changes in proportions. Typical clothing measurements looked something like: Bust = Waist + 7 and hips = waist +10-11. Nowadays, it is more like Bust = waist + 7-8 and hips = waist + 8-9.

Makes me want to avoid as many additives as I can.

We are eating more of course, but why have our proportions changed so much as well? I think it is food additives.

Organic milk really has more advantages compared to regular milk sold in the Grocery stores.

Also is there any evidence if the Organic Milk enables weight loss compared to regular milk?


Thanks!
In my opinion the organic 1% milk tastes much better than the regular 1% milk.

What is your point -- Does drinking organic milk reduces weight, especially in Woman?

Thanks!

I think the hormones as additives in regular milk have impacted puberty, breast size, and weight distribution in women. Among other things of course.


I am on my phone, please forgive the typos.

Try raw milk. You haven't had creamy milk until you've tried it.
