Do Free-range Hens Lay Better Eggs? By: David Juan
The evidence increasingly shows that the best health advice for a morning meal is to include a few eggs.
They are rich in nutrients, lower in cholesterol than previously thought, and help keep you satiated longer into the day.
A new study addressed an interesting question: are eggs laid by free-range hens nutritionally superior to those laid by eggs in cages?
Free-range eggs are generally perceived to be better for you.
There is no doubt they are ethically the better option, and perhaps that is all that needs to be addressed.
But since we deal with science here in Doctors Health Press, we'll see if this natural food is actually clinically superior in nutrient base.
To that end, the new study found basically no difference in quality of eggs produced by hens in both environments.
What's more is that cholesterol levels in all eggs were lower than U.S. officials had documented.
This prompted the government to review and lower its estimates for average cholesterol levels in eggs.
The main message here is that an egg, no matter where it's produced, is a very nutritious food choice.
Free-range eggs did have higher levels of total fat than eggs produced by caged hens, but they did not have higher levels of cholesterol.
The researchers say that the most striking finding was that both cage- and range-produced eggs actually have lower cholesterol levels than previously believed.
This in turn led the United States Department of Agriculture to lower the cholesterol guidelines for eggs to 185 milligrams per egg, down from 213 mg.
In the study, egg samples were collected at 50, 62, and 74 weeks of age during the productive life of the flock and sent to four different laboratories.
The results showed no influence of housing environment (range or cage) on levels of vitamin A or vitamin E.
But, levels of beta-carotene were higher in the range eggs, which could be why their yolks are darker.
This important carotenoid is very healthy, and is transformed into vitamin A in the body.
Though there was more beta-carotene, the researchers concluded that overall there was no significant nutritional advantage of eggs produced by chickens given free range versus those in cages.
All this said, if you support the more ethical treatment of animals, then the choice may be clear anyway. Free-range eggs just might cost an extra dollar.

Eat This To Keep Muscles, Lose Belly Fat By: Dr. Victor Marchione
Food cures come, food cures go, but one that always floats around a healthy diet is the dairy family.
Our natural health is boosted by low-fat dairy products such as milk and yogurt.
A new study says if you wish to trim belly fat and increase lean muscle, you might consider dairy more strongly.
Specifically, a study found that a higher-protein, lower-carbohydrate energy-restricted diet has a major positive impact on body composition.
And that is especially so when the proteins come from dairy products.
The study, published now in the “Journal of Nutrition,” compared three groups of overweight and obese premenopausal women.
Each consumed either low, medium or high amounts of dairy foods coupled with higher or lower amounts of protein and carbohydrates.
They also exercised every day for four months.
The routine included five days of aerobic exercise and two days of circuit weightlifting.
Both groups shed identical amounts of weight — but the higher-protein, high-dairy group experienced greater whole-body fat and abdomen fat losses, greater lean mass gains, and greater increases in strength. The fat composition of the lost weight has, the researchers say, huge gains for long-term health.
All the weight dropped in the dairy group was fat. Meanwhile, the women gained muscle mass.
This translates into a major change in body composition.
Even preserving muscles is very important for maintaining metabolic rate and preventing weight regain.
The study found that the lower-protein, low-dairy group lost about a pound and a half of muscle.
But the lower-protein, medium-dairy group lost almost no muscle.
And then, in the higher-protein, high-dairy group, there was a gain of a pound and a half of muscle.
Plus, that group dropped twice as much belly fat as the lower-protein, low-dairy group.
These results are pretty big, as abdominal fat is particularly bad for health.
This study seems to show that boosting calcium and protein in the diet may help to further promote loss of fat from the worst storage area in the body.
What's more: the women got stronger and fitter through the exercise.
One note to consider when you analyze a study is any organizations or companies that may have funded it.
In this case, the major dairy organizations of both Canada and the U.S. were funders. That said, results remain results.
