The Claim
Pasture-raised eggs produced by industrial farming operations can contain up to 26% linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, such that consuming two eggs provides an amount of linoleic acid comparable to one tablespoon of canola oil.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Two pasture-raised eggs from big farms can have as much omega-6 fat as a spoonful of canola oil, because those eggs sometimes contain a lot of a fat called linoleic acid.
