The Claim
Eggs produced by hens fed a corn- and soy-free diet supplemented with grass-fed beef by-products contain half the omega-6 fatty acid content and exhibit a 5- to 10-fold lower omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio compared to cage-free eggs, with the PBB group showing a ratio of 6:1 versus 51:1 in conventional cage-free eggs.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eggs from hens fed a special diet with grass-fed beef leftovers have way less unhealthy fat and a much better balance of good fats compared to regular cage-free eggs.
See the scientific wording
Eggs from hens fed a corn- and soy-free diet supplemented with grass-fed beef by-products have half the omega-6 fatty acid content and a 5–10 times lower omega-6:omega-3 ratio than cage-free eggs, with the PBB group showing a ratio of 6:1 compared to 51:1 in cage-free eggs.
What the research says
1 studyThe study looked at eggs from hens fed a special diet with grass-fed beef parts and no corn or soy, and found their eggs had much less unhealthy fat and a better fat balance than regular cage-free eggs, just like the claim says.
