What are omega-3 enriched eggs?

One of the labels you'll see on an egg carton is the description "omega-3 enriched." What does this mean? Omega-3 fatty acids are important, anti-inflammatory fatty acids that are at chronically low levels in the North American diet.

You'll find the greatest amount of these fatty acids in eggs from chickens that have been pastured. Pastured chickens also produce eggs with the optimal one-to-one ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (one unit of omega-3 to one unit of omega-6). On the other hand, industrially produced eggs have an imbalanced one-to-twenty ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids.

To rectify this imbalance and increase the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in their eggs, some farmers add flaxseed to the chickens' feed if they're not going to be pastured. That's what the label "omega-3 enriched" means. If you’re not able to find pastured eggs, organic, omega-3-enhanced eggs are a good next-best option.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
