Organic Milk And Child Allergies
There’s been a study done by the Netherlands Louis Bolk Institute which says that young children are less prone to allergies if they are given organic dairy products. The research was published in the British Journal of Nutrition and the study followed two thousand and five hundred women from the time they were pregnant till the time their children were two. Not only were the children of one group fed organic dairy products, the mothers too had organic dairy products when they pregnant and breastfeeding. The other group had mostly non-organic milk products.
Allergies like asthma and eczema were much lower in the group that was fed the organic products. So the researchers are now wondering what exactly is causing these allergies – is it the additives like the pesticides and the antibiotics or does the milk undergo some kind of change when it is pasteurized?
