Some of the things allowed in organic milk.

Algal oil or algae oil, also used to make fuel. http://www.cornucopia.org/2011/04/largest-organic-milk-bottler-accused-of-misrepresenting-products/

Palmitate-may cause cardiovascular disease, among other things.

Palmitic acid has been shown (in rats fed on a 20% fat (palmitic acid), 80% carbohydrate diet) to alter aspects of the central nervous system responsible for the secretion of insulin, and to suppress the body's natural appetite-suppressing signals from leptin and insulin -- the key hormones involved in weight regulation<5>.

Aluminum salts of palmitic acid and naphthenic acid were combined during World War II to produce napalm (aluminum naphthenate and aluminum palmitate). The word "napalm" is derived from the words naphthenic acid and palmitic acid.

According to the World Health Organization, evidence is "convincing" that consumption of palmitic acid increases risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, placing it in the same evidence category as trans fatty acids.<10> Retinyl palmitate is an antioxidant and a source of vitamin A added to low fat milk to replace the vitamin content lost through the removal of milk fat. Palmitate is attached to the alcohol form of vitamin A, retinol, to make vitamin A stable in milk.

2. We are an overweight nation for many reasons, but whodda thunk one of those reasons

might be an ingredient they add to organic milk?

Then again, who would have thought that U.S. cigarette manufacturers would deliberately add stuff to make them even more addictive and more deadly than they were to begin with? And the FDA would not only allow it, but treat the information as top secret?
