There is good evidence that dairy products from cows that are exclusively grass fed or range fed have high levels of "good" fats, namely omega 3 fats and CLA. Therefore it is not necessary to drink fat free milk. In fact it is good to have the milk fats when the fats have higher levels of these "good" fats: omega 3 and CLA It is not widely appreciated that not all organic milk is the same.

I am one of a number of Americans who suffer from severe food allergies. Pepper extracts, peanut oil, shellfish meal, and other 'organic' pest control products are rarely if ever disclosed to the purchasing public. Yet they trigger reactions - sometimes severe reactions - in people allergic to the organic 'pesticide.' Organic gardeners and producers need to disclose exactly what they use on their crops. Just because its natural and organic doesn't mean its free from dangerous ingredients.
