What are the differences when comparing organic eggs vs. conventional eggs? Are pasture-raised eggs worth the price tag? Find out the answers to your eggcellent questions in this video!

1:22 Free-range eggs
2:47 Does chicken feed matter?
5:00 What are the healthiest chicken eggs?
In this video, we’ll examine all of the different types of chicken eggs available in the store. The different labels and classifications can be confusing.
Around 65% of all chickens used for laying chicken eggs are in cages. Caged chickens are required to get at least 67 square inches of space, which is a little over 8 x 8 inches. New California caged chickens get a few more inches but not even one square foot of space.
Cage-free chickens are not in a cage but are generally confined to a barn with many other chickens. Each chicken gets one square foot of space.
Free-range chickens get 2 square feet of space. They have free range in a barn and typically have access to the outdoors, but it’s unclear if they have access to outdoor grass or if the area is cement.
Pasture-raised chickens get 10 feet by 10 feet of outdoor space.
When chickens don’t get enough space, their cortisol and adrenaline levels increase. This is unhealthy for the chickens and causes them to produce less healthy chicken eggs.
When looking for chicken eggs at the store, terms like “natural,” “vegetarian-fed,” and different grades of chicken eggs mean nothing!
Conventional eggs come from chickens that are fed chicken feed made of corn and soy. This means their food is GMO, sprayed with chemicals, and very high in omega-6 fatty acids. The eggs are then much higher in omega-6 fatty acids. Foods high in omega-6 fatty acids affect the mitochondria, the nervous system, and the heart. They also create inflammation in the body.
If you can't raise backyard chickens and you can't get to a farmer’s market, look for organic pasture-raised eggs. It will be more expensive, but it's worth the investment in your health.

As a child in the 70s, I raised chickens on a small farm. While in high school I did a science project where I took some of the eggs and put them in an incubator for the class to follow the development and birth of the chicks. When hatching day came I, along with some of my classmates and the teacher, observed the event. Out of the total number of eggs, a third did not hatch, another third hatched but had deformities of some kind, and only about a third appeared healthy. I had noticed that our eggs had a funny taste for some time but could not figure out what it was. The answer came some years later. We had used Kepone to combat chicken mites and other pests in the coop. If you don't know what Kepone is then please look it up. This left an indelible impression on me as I had undeniable proof that whatever a hen consumes goes directly into the egg. Please only buy organic pasture raised eggs if it is the only organic thing you buy. There are far more deadly things that could be in the eggs you consume or feed your family than Omega-6.

I fully understand what you are saying, Dr. Berg, and I'm well aware that it's important to pay for better quality eggs, and foods in general if you care about your health, but I have a very limited budget which prevents me from buying the best of the best. Sure, I'd love to be eating the organic, pasture raised eggs, the grass fed beef and butter, and strictly organic fruits and vegetables every day, but I like to be able to pay my rent on time as well.

Even still, we have a lot of problems still with animals being mistreated and poor living conditions. I use to regularly shop at my local small greengrocer & noticed the difference. Sometimes I would get fruit or veg that was going squishy and she would give me a discount!! I was happy as I often intended to eat those things same day anyway. I noticed that the local honey was really nice and we could even get some things like turmeric root grown locally which I definitely wouldn't find at the supermarket! I'm glad to see that now there's a market appearing for people who are actually conscious of what they're eating, so glad that more and more people are able to sustain these companies who are doing the right thing! The more we support them, often the cheaper they'll be able to produce over time as well.

@HH-gv8mx Ай бұрын

So does it matter whether or not the eggs are organic? I just buy the organic egg whites from Whole Foods or Publix. I don’t think it says on the box how much room they have to walk around. But I do think it says cage free.

@estherruth4692 Ай бұрын

⁠organic refers to what the chickens are fed. Cage free means they are all crowded together in a big room instead of being in a little cage. The egg whites are the least nutritious part of the egg and the most likely part to give people bad reactions, so if you’re going to consume egg whites, it should probably be the highest quality eggs you can get, which would be pasture raised and organic. (I guess if you’re just making a dessert recipe with egg whites it doesn’t matter since you’re not eating that for the health benefits.)

Eggsquisite video! 00:29 🐔 Chicken space matters: From caged to pasture-raised, the amount of space chickens have significantly impacts their health and the quality of their eggs. 02:34 🥚 "Natural" doesn't mean much: Terms like "natural" and different grades don't indicate the health of the chicken or the quality of the eggs. Look for "pasture-raised" instead. 03:54 🍳 Omega-6 impact: High levels of omega-6 fatty acids in eggs can negatively affect health, causing inflammation and impacting various bodily functions. 04:21 🌾 Feed quality matters: Organic feed without soy or corn, supplemented with insects and ample space for chickens to roam, can significantly reduce omega-6 levels in eggs. 05:30 💰 Investing in health: While pasture-raised organic eggs may cost more, they provide higher quality and support healthier farming practices, serving as an investment in personal health and well-being.

We have a small flock of 25 hens & a few roosters, they are happy & healthy on pasture with plenty of space to scratch and explore, I wouldn't have it any other way. Besides what they can muster on their own we feed a fermented grain ration. ❤️From🇨🇦

I have 4 backyard chicken hens I keep in a moving coop/chicken tractor. I added several extra cages that I link to the tractor so I can cover more ground and give them more room. They have a total of 5 cages/runs linked together about 3-4'X 6' long. Plus I sometimes put up an additional fenced area with deer netting for even more room to forage. I always give them access to a Layer/Crumble mix and throw in extra weeds, and leaves as well as mung bean sprouts that I make in jars. Because they have the extra space, I move the whole set up about every 10 days. If you just have one 4'X6 chicken run you should move every day or two. I saw some Coturnix Quail eggs in Dr. Berg's video too. Highly recommend those as well and I have a growing set up for them. Very well suited for people with small spaces who want eggs and even raise meat. The roosters are not obnoxiously loud like a chicken, so a better choice for breeding and not disturbing your neighbors. Most places have no rules against them either, like they do for chickens. They are actually adapted to live in small spaces like a cage and testing by experts shows they lay more and get along better with each other in about 2-3 birds per square foot, as long as the male to female sex ratio is appropriate.

About 9 years ago I was at a grocery store in Bellevue NE. There was a very wide selection of egg brands and prices. I recall buying the cheapest at the time 6 eggs for 99 cents. I noticed a difference from the more expensive organic eggs. The next day I went to Village in in the same parking lot as the grocery store and had eggs with my meal the eggs there were exactly like the cheap 99 cents eggs. The 99 cents eggs had a locally produce sticker on them.

Totally agree. And it’s definitely worth it, but unfortunately many of us can’t afford that or grass fed meat. I have an entire family to feed every day. The good eggs are $8-$10. They’ll be gone in two days. I wish I could afford better food for my family and I.

If you can try Healthy Planet, they carry pasture raised eggs from Alderwood Farms. And The Big Carrot 🥕 if you're in Toronto, they carry a few more brands as well. I imagine that more places have them but I haven't checked yet.

I am fortunate to have my own chickens in a my backyard. I have 10 chickens in a 8' x 16' coop/pen and once a day they get to range the backyard and eat all the bugs, grass and whatever else they can find. I feed them a mix of fermented oats/flax/sunflower seeds/peas/millet/kelp plus the chicken pellets for which I get 4-6 eggs per day. Not sure of the actual cost is - $7.00/doz seems a bit low, but the eggs taste so good its worth it!👍
