I'm not saying organic milk is bad. But this is is obviously someone who knows nothing about agriculture. All milk sold in stores is from cows without growth hormones.... Seriously. People amazes me...

I just don't drink milk. Organic or not it's still not suitable for human consumption >.<

I simply prefer almond milk because it is velvety and silky smooth in my coffee.

@Justine Nicole Spraakman the saying "back in the day everybody grew up with it & they're all fine" is the biggest misconception. The fact is, the products you buy in the stores today are not necessarily the same as when you or your parents were kids. There are way more chemicals in the marketplace today and most of them have never been tested for human safety. This goes for food products, cosmetics, cleaning supplies, you name it. This article is not particularly well written. Certified organic milk is the right choice as you can be sure it doesn't contain any GMOs (found in canola, soybeans and corn, the main ingredients in animal feed), antibiotics, which are given to the cows to prevent or treat diseases (common for cows that are being overmilked - their udders become blistered and infected, mucus in your milk? - and animals living in confined spaces), rBGH, recombinant bovine growth hormone (not a pesticide) is given to the cows to boost milk production (rBGH can interfere with hormone function). These are just a few ingredients in mainstream store bought milk these days in North America. Not only are you buying poor quality milk, but the same goes for all dairy products. If you think that milk is coming from happy little cows grazing in a wide open grassy field, you are sadly mistaken. In some factory raised animals, they've never even seen the light of day. If you're going to drink milk, go organic. If you are concerned about your lactose intake or allergens try almond milk which in most manufacturers cases has just as much calcium and added vitamin D to give you the same nutrition - if not better - than milk will.

Um GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism, so no, it's not "in" anything it either IS a GMO or is not. Many foods that you mention like soy, canola (which is actually a flowering plant where they derive the oil from the seed of the plant called the rapeseed, but society doesn't like that word so they say canola) and corn are not GMO's and you can buy non GMO ingredient foods and drinks. People are sadly mistaken that "organic" means healthy and so much better for you. It's so inflated and overrated.

No added growth hormones

And rBGH is no longer used in 98% of dairy production.

I think this world is going a little to crazy about milk and organic milk. Back in the day there was non organic milk and those ppl came out fine.
