Organic Center Biography
- Position:
- Pro to the question "Is Drinking Milk Healthy for Humans?"
- Reasoning:
-
“Milk, most dairy products, beef, lamb, and pork are the major dietary sources of CLA [conjugated lenoleic acid]. The ‘magical properties’ of CLA include reducing the propensity to store fat (especially abdominal fat), inhibiting tumor development, promoting sensitivity to insulin in cells, increasing immune response against viral antigens, and modulating inflammatory processes… Milk from dairy cows on organic farms, particularly pasture-based operations, contains significantly higher CLA levels.”
