Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yorksman" data-source="post: 557731" data-attributes="member: 55568">If you are worried about raised cholesterol from eggs, many people are not, Omega 3 enriched eggs are a good choice. They are basically eggs laid by chickens fed on omega 3 rich foods, usually flax seeds.Of course, tinned fish can give you a lot of omega 3 but the eggs, in addition to higher levels of omega 3 over normal eggs, also have much lower levels of Omega-6. The ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 should be something like 1:1 but is typically 10:1 and in some people something like 30:1. Anything which helps lower your Omega 6 and raise your Omega 3 is beneficial.But, don't stress about it, most people in the west eat at a ratio of 15:1 and are generally living longer. Eating healthier foods is just a sensible precaution. I like grass fed beef and don't like the idea of feeding cattle with meal made from ground up chicken carcasses. There are a lot of very dodgy practices involved in producing cheap food. The less processing involved, the better.</blockquote>
