TRUE FOOD NEWS:  Many cultures recognize that eggs are a brain food and
encourage pregnant and nursing mothers to eat as many as possible (a
minimum of 2 per day).  In China, nursing mothers who can afford it eat up
to ten eggs per day!

Unfortunately, most commercial eggs available in the supermarkets are
inferior, nutritionally speaking, to the eggs from free-range hens of
yesteryear.  The typical supermarket egg from battery hens given grain
feed contains nineteen times more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3 fatty
acids.

Studies have shown that hens fed flax meal or fish meal rich in omega-3
fatty acids have equal amounts of omega-6 and omega-3, a very beneficial
balance.  Eggs from hens allowed to eat bugs and graze on pasture also
have this favorable balance.  In addition, these eggs are richer in
certain special long-chain fatty acids needed for the optimal mental
development of the infant's brain, nervous system and visual acuity. 
These fatty acids include arachidonic acid (AA), eicosapentaenoic acid
(EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).  Many researchers have warned that
adequate EPA and DHA in the diet of infants is needed to prevent learning
disabilities and defects in visual function.

Egg yolks also provide cholesterol needed for optimal development of the
nervous system.

So do not hesitate to give your infant his or her daily egg yolk, starting
at four months.  It is the yolk that contains the beneficial fatty acids. 
The proteins in the white of the egg may be difficult to digest until baby
is older.  SOURCE:  Fallon, Sally; Nourishing Traditions.
