Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 23236, member: 2262"] The Truth About Egg Yolk Color: A Fresh Look at Health Facts. Dark or light egg yolks - does the shade matter? Peter Alaru has answers. He works at KALRO as a food expert. Alaru tells us chicken feed makes yolks change color. Farmers can make yolks darker if they want. Many people think deep yellow means better eggs, but both pale and dark yolks give us the same good food value. What chickens eat paints their yolks. Free chickens that hunt bugs often lay eggs with darker yolks. Some companies put extra things in chicken food just to make darker yolks. Eggs help us stay strong without spending much money. They fill us with what our bodies need. Young kids grow better when they start eating eggs early. Each egg packs power into a small space. When you cook an egg, it gives you strong proteins - lots of them. These proteins help make the stuff that keeps our bodies running, like the signals that tell our parts what to do. Eggs feed our brains through something called choline. They have good fats that help baby brains grow. These fats also keep our hearts happy and help stop swelling in our bodies. Every egg comes packed with vitamins. You'll find ones that mix with fat, like A, D, E, and K. There are others that mix with water - all the B types. These help your body work right. Eggs bring more good things. They have stuff that makes bones strong, helps blood flow, and keeps cells safe. The yellow part has things that protect your eyes as you age. Mr. Alaru shares one more fact: eggs have helpers that fight bad things in our cells. They guard our hearts and eyes, and help move fat through our blood the right way. [/QUOTE]
