The packaging indicated the omega-3 value. Omega-3 levels can only be measured with very expensive machines. I didn’t test the eggs myself. The packaging indicated the omega-3 value.

Did you test your blood or did you test the egg yolks themselves? Do you know of a machine or piece of equipment on the market that can test for Omega-3 levels in egg yolks?

It actually took me years to figure out that egg consumption the cause of the problem which manifested itself as a severe lack of energy. For example, I could walk very slowly but not quickly and not run even a few steps. (And this could go on for hours.) My understanding is that this could have been an immune response provoked by egg protein getting into my circulatory system somehow. I mention this because allergy to eggs is very common and could be a confounding factor. Eggs are the only food I’m allergic to.

This might be a good opportunity to test the effect of high and low omega-3 eggs without knowing which ones you are consuming in advance (assuming the eggs taste the same). Seth,

Very interesting results. This might be a good opportunity to test the effect of high and low omega-3 eggs without knowing which ones you are consuming in advance (assuming the eggs taste the same).
