What the hell is in the milk?

It is commonly understood that when you buy organic milk you are getting milk from a cow not "fed" a crap-ton of antibiotics, and god knows what else.  Do you buy it, or get the cheap stuff?

Perusing the FDA additive site this morning I got the list of what that really means for you.  
  • Amoxicillin
  • Ampicillin
  • Bacitracin, manganese bacitracin, zinc bacitracin, Bacitracin methylene disalicylate
  • Benzathine cloxacillin
  • Cephapirin, sodium
  • Cephapirin benzathine
  • Chlorobutanol
  • Chlortetracycline
  • Clopidol (3,5-Dichloro-2,6-dimethyl-4-pyridinol)
  • Cloxacillin
  • Dimethylpolysiloxane
  • Erythromycin, Erythromycin thiocyanate or phosphate
  • Ethoxyquin
  • Hydrocortisone (as acetate or sodium succinate)
  • Lincomycin hydrochloride
  • Methylparaben (methyl-p-hydroxybenzoate)
  • Methyl prednisolone
  • Morantel Tartrate
  • Neomycin
  • Novobiocin
  • Penicillin
  • Polyethylene glycol
  • Prednisolone 
  • Prednisone
  • Procaine penicillin
  • Propylparaben (propyl-p-hydroxybenzoate) 
  • Rennet (Rennin)
  • Salicylic acid
  • Sodium chloride
  • Sodium citrate
  • Sodium cloxacillin
  • Sulfabromomethazine 
  • Sulfadimethoxine
  • Sulfadimethoxine + Ormetoprim
  • Sulfaethoxypyridazine
  • Thiabendazole
  • Tylosin
  • Vitamin A
  • Vitamin D 
At least I can identify the bottom two!  Too bad they are added!  

Now I ask, where's the "milk" in all of that??
