Diet Eggs- An Insight
Diet eggs
are also known as Designer Eggs the world over and have been
created after twelve years of intensive research by Dr. Jeong
Sim – a scientist from University of Alberta, Canada. With an
exceptional nutritional value, the diet egg delivers the special
nutrients required in a human diet. Diet Egg is a Low
Cholesterol Egg enriched with essential nutrients like Omega 3
and Vitamin E with No Egg Smell!
Diet eggs are produced by
suitably modifying the poultry feed. These modifications were
arrived at by using 100 % natural vegetarian feed. It’s a diet,
which is rich in Omega 3, and Vitamin E. Omega 3 is extremely
beneficial. It protects the heart against cardiovascular
diseases like coronary blockage, blood pressure and hyper
cholesterolmia. It helps reducing cholesterol, Blood clot
formation, tumor growth, and thrombosis. Researchers around the
world have focused on the health effects of the dietary supply
of Omega 3 fatty acids, partly because those fatty acids have
been reported to protect against cardiovascular and inflammatory
diseases. The diet is depleted of the Omega 3 fatty acids, in
general. The egg industry has stepped in to fill this gap and
has begun to return to Omega-3 fatty acids into the blood
supply. There is no genetic tempering or chemical usage in
making of diet eggs, as is a popular misconception.

Diet eggs
have the same great taste that egg lovers appreciate, with far
greater health benefits. Two diet eggs meet the minimum daily
requirements of Omega-3 Fatty Acid for human body. The designer
egg (diet eggs) concept offers an alternative choice of food
production to today’s nutrition–health conscious around the
world. Eggs, which have been considered an atherogenic food, are
now safely consumed if enriched with Omega-3 fatty acids. Diet
eggs can be eaten - boiled, fried, scrambled, poached, omelets,
pancakes or cakes. Boiled eggs are suggested, to maintain a
healthy ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3. These eggs are healthier,
lighter with soft texture and No Eggy Smell!
