Booths supermarket had an offer on Cravendale filtered milk, so we decided to try it. I can’t really tell any difference apart from the extended date on the side.

I wish I hadn’t read the advertising blurb where it mentions filtering out impurities, which means I’m usually drinking milk with impurities in it.
Will I ever be able to drink unfiltered milk again, without thinking about the impurities and letting into my system?

I buy Tesco filtered milk because it lasts longer no other particular reason.

Same here tanith - just because it lasts longer. Obviously when I’m out, I’ll have whatever milk is on the go. I don’t think the so called ‘impurities’ are worth worrying about - probably just good advertising by Cravendale!

The filters remove the bacteria that causes milk to go off. Some of the same bacteria that people buy in other products like live yoghurt or is used in cheese making.

Our immune systems benefit from a range if bacteria introduced through the food we eat. A healthy gut us one that has lots of different bacteria in it.

The advantage of filtered is its longer life.

I only buy filtered milk because I can order it in my grocery delivery and know it will last for a lot longer than unfiltered milk.
