Organic milk comes from cows that were not given antibiotics, so it doesn't contribute to the growing problem of bacterial resistance.

As a matter of fact, in the May 9th issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital and the Harvard School of Public Health reported that dairy products that are low in fat, including milk, is shown to lower the risk of type 2 diabetes (in men).
Another big advantage of organic milk over regular milk is its ability to go for a long time without turning sour: organic milk is heated to around 280 °F (138 °C), so it would take up to two months for it to turn sour.
Because of the fact that regular, pasteurized milk is heated to 145 °F (63 °C), it doesn't have the same life.
