Organic Meats are Less Toxic, More Nutritious
NaturalNews.com reports that a recent UK government study found that non-organic chickens have a 23.4% chance of salmonella contamination while organic chickens have only a 4.4% chance. Mother Earth News also found that organic chickens lay eggs with 1/3 less cholesterol, 1/4 less saturated fat, 2/3 more vitamin A, twice as many omega-3 fats, three times more vitamin E, and seven times more beta carotene.
Mindfully.org looked at over 30 separate studies and concluded that on average, organic food has more nutrients than non-organic food. Mindfully found that organic foods were significantly superior in vitamin C content, had much lower levels of carcinogenic nitrates, and contained better protein quality.

In some instances, I will ask certain patients to blend a raw egg yolk into a daily smoothie.
My advise. DO NOT DO THIS with regular store bought eggs. USE ORGANIC eggs only!

Excellent post. The sad part is that organic meat is really hard to come by. We are fortunate in the fact that we have a farm close by that produces our beef, chicken and eggs. Buying from a regular store always makes you wonder about quality??
