Organic dairy is best for asthma

Listen up, parents and parents-to-be: Protecting your kids against allergies, asthma and eczema can be as easy as watching what you feed them -- recent studies are showing that feeding a child only organic milk, cheese and yogurt can reduce their chances of developing any of those conditions early on in life. And the same goes for growing fetuses -- mom's should try to eat only organic dairy whenever possible.

Studies have found a significant difference between kids who eat conventional dairy and organic dairy, but the difference only accounted for kids who ate only organic -- those who ate some organic and some regular dairy showed the same results as those who didn't eat any organic at all.

This confirms what I've suspected for a while -- that organic really is better for you. What do you think? Do you eat organic?
