Eggs
Eggs are truly a superfood with a perfect balance of fat and protein. Organic eggs from hens allowed to feed on insects and green plants (pastured) contain omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in a one-to-one ratio whereas commercial eggs from hens fed mostly grains can contain as much as 19 times more omega-6 than omega-3 which creates an imbalance that can disrupt the production of prostaglandins leading to blood clots, inflammation, high blood pressure, irritation of the digestive tract, depressed immune system, sterility, cancer, and weight gain (Nourishing Traditions p. 11).

Grain
Have you heard of phytic acid? Well, it’s kind of a big deal. Phytic acid is how phosphorus is stored. (Sidenote: We need phosphorus as much as we need calcium for strong bones.) It is considered an anti-nutrient because it actually leaches minerals from the body. Phytic acid is in all seeds…so almonds, wheat, peas, potatoes, corn etc. The only way to break it down (human digestion cannot) is through soaking, sprouting, or sour leavening. It will also bind to heavy metals, however, so a small amount of whole grains are beneficial.
