Eggs from chickens fed corn and soy may be less healthy due to accumulation of linoleic acid.

“They found that when humans ate these lower PUFA eggs, their LDL was less susceptible to oxidation.”

“so you can get corn and soy free chicken and um it's it's lower in Little Egg acid”

“we're being given eggs that are extra high in linoleic acid because they're eating corn and soy and that is totally parallel to this”

“they feed their chickens earthworms crickets they've changed the diet of their chickens and they looked at the linoleic acid amount in the egg yolks what do they find when you change chicken's diet the linoleic acid content of the egg yolk is much lower”

“because most chickens are fed corn and soy or wheat and the women that i did the recipes for the cookbook here and ashley armstrong on the farm and they fed their chickens and feed”

“you know La gets concentrated um in eggs so you can you can get too much uh you could drive your your omega-6 consumption I think too high pretty quickly if you're consuming four you know like four eggs a day that are Capo raised you'll get four around four or five times more La than you would with these ancestral uh eggs”

“I want egg yolks from chickens that are fed bugs and meat and you know kitchen scraps which will mostly be fruit because I don't eat vegetables”

“And then pasture-raised egg 465 milligrams of linoleic acid per egg a cage-free egg 585 milligrams of linoleic acid per egg and a kfo egg 734 milligrams of linoleic acid per egg does that sound right Chris yeah yeah so significantly different depending on what type of um what type of egg you are eating and what the chickens are eating”

“a lot of mainstream eggs are produced with diets of corn and soy and that increases the amount of linoleic acid in those eggs”

“if I can find it I look for an egg that is corn and soy free when chickens eat corn and soy they accumulate excess amounts of linolic acid that polyunsaturated acid you find in seed oils in their eggs and I think that that makes their eggs less healthy”

“corn and soy contain more linolic acid that 18 carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid than chickens probably got in the wild and that means there's more linolic acid the polyunsaturated fatty acid that I worry about in seed oils in eggs that are fed corn and soy there's actually been studies showing that if you change the diet of chickens you can change the composition of their eggs meaning less linolic acid in their egg yolks and healthier eggs there was a study showing that if they change the diet of the chickens the consumption of those eggs led to LDL which was less susceptible to oxidation that's a very beneficial thing for cardiovascular risk you want your LDL to be less susceptible to oxidation you want your LDL to be more stable so corn and soy free eggs awesome pasture raised awesome organic awesome”

“if chickens are eating better there's less lenic acid in their eggs but if chickens are eating corn and soy they pour more lenic acid into their eggs and so there was recently an article that came out about this you know like the amount of lenic acid in egg yolks is higher than it probably should be historically”

“I really believe that a corn and soyfree egg yolk is going to be a healthier egg yolk, lower linoleic acid than a traditional egg yolk.”

“When a chicken is fed corn and soy, the amount of linoleic acid, which is an 18 carbon polyunsaturated fat, increases in the yolk.”

“I would love to have a soy and corn-free egg because it's going to have less linoleic acid in the yolk”
