Guest guest Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 News... It's no yolk, tests show free-range eggs more nutritious Mother Earth News magazine has announced the results of its research comparing eggs from four free-range flocks to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) nutrient data for eggs from confinement production systems. Their findings showed that the eggs from free range chickens were up to twice as rich in vitamin E, up to six times richer in beta carotene (a form of vitamin A) and four times richer in essential omega-3 fatty acids. And, the free-range eggs averaged only half as much cholesterol. Data and graphs are available in the August/September 2005 issue of the magazine or at the Mother Earth News Web site: http://www.MotherEarthNews.com/eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I'm not surprised but I am very pleased to see that this data has now been proved, and I suspect we will find this true of most other farm animal products also. Please pass the word, everyone. The public at large needs to see what a difference there is in our food when healthy farming techniques are employed!
