EGGS RECOMMENDED BY HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS
I usually recommend the COLUMBUS egg to my heart patients and to anyone else who cares about health and well-being.
Apart from the fact that the cholesterol in the yolk has little influence on blood cholesterol levels, this egg is different from all others in that it contains a high level of essential omega-3 fatty acids (with an excellent omega-6 to omega-3 ratio) and very good quality phospholipids. The COLUMBUS egg can therefore be considered as an integral part of responsible nutrition in terms of cardiovascular health.
