Part of doing the work when it comes to fitness is growing some of your own food. For me this includes raising hens for eggs. When hens are raised closer to their natural environment the composition of the egg itself changes. The omega fatty acids of 3’s and 6’s is closer to a ratio of one to one. What exactly does this mean? In essence it means less inflammation for the person consuming them as a diet high in grains, grain processed rancid oils, or animals that are fed the same diet is extremely high in omega 6 and very inflammatory. The other issue with eggs is you are unable to purchase soy free eggs in the general market. Soy is extremely cheap, high in protein an easy to store making it much easier to sell loads of crap to the general public at a greater profit.
What happens when hens are fed soy free feed is the phytoestrogen content of the eggs is substantially reduced. The less estrogens in your body the leaner and healthier you will be. Regardless of if they are from hormones fed to the animals, xenoestrogens in the environment, phytoestrogens from soy, or raised estrogen levels from medications. You simply cannot become lean and healthy with high estrogen levels plus you increase your risk for cancer substantially over time.
Raising hens is a lot of extra work and most will simply not do it because most become work averse over time out of habit. The way to overcome this is to thoroughly understand what those that profit from food and supplements are doing to you and your family then you can start to wake up and not let it happen. This is hopefully when people stop making excuses as the only excuse that applies is they simply did not do the work and relied on the social proof marketers created to be their research.
Raw eggs especially raise glutathione levels the master anti oxidant along with being a very usable protein by the body. Raw whey has the same effect so if you have a farmer near you ask him/her for some raw whey if available.
So why do you buy whey protein in a plastic canister. Because no one can make money from selling eggs that are raised the right way. It’s too hard to explain to the average consumer and they would cost too much because it’s labor intensive and same goes for whey. In order to make a profit a product has to have shelf life so what do you do? You tell the public it’s the same and they will just follow along. They will not do the necessary work of researching. They will then wonder why they are not making progress and simply move on to the next product the marketers are selling.
Why do hair transplant doctors promote whey protein? Because they are just as clueless. Simply another avenue of revenue without the work of doing the research. Tattooing hair dots is another great example. Just add it to the offering without worrying about the consequences. Until something happens to their own family then they become outraged at what is going on.
If you don’t have the ability to raise you own food then start traveling to farms outside your area. They can’t afford the $100,000 full page ads in the fitness magazines but they are selling a better product. It’s time tested.
One of the greatest marketing stories out there is statins. It has now surpassed the trillion dollar revenue mark. I have been eating a dozen eggs a day for at least the last 15 years and even more over the last few years. My peers are starting to pass away or are on multiple prescriptions. Eventually the marketers will get you if you don’t stay informed and stop following the experts that are simply profiting from your ignorance.
