tru if you are seriously discussing Free Range Eggs here is something I found online.
free range eggs Health Benefits of Free Range Eggs [alert color=green align=center] A comparison of nutritional data for caged versus free range eggs found, on average, the free range eggs had:
Twice as much omega-3 fatty acids. Three times more vitamin E. Seven times more pro-vitamin A beta-carotene. A quarter less saturated fat. A third less cholesterol.
Other tests have demonstrated that pastured eggs have up to six times more essential vitamin D than regular supermarket eggs. They have also been shown to have significantly more B vitamins than a factory egg.
Egg yolks are also a known source of lutein and zeaxanthin, but the pale, watery yellow yolks in eggs from caged chickens, fed the waste products of the grain industry, contain very little.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are two important antioxidants for the health of your eyes. They help to protect the delicate macula region of your eye from damaging UV and high-intensity blue light.
If you’d like to protect your vision as well as improve your overall health, look for the deep yellow/orange yolks you’ll find in real free range eggs. Conclusion
Social media gives us a unique opportunity to spread the word on these kind of issues. If enough people share articles like this and more of us choose free range eggs, industrial scale farmers will be forced to change their cruel production methods and hopefully free range eggs can go back to being the natural and healthy super food they’re designed to be.
