Eggs produced by free-range hens are often perceived by the public to be nutritionally superior to eggs obtained from layers kept in traditional battery cages. However, a recent scientific study has called this popular perception into question by finding essentially no differences in the nutritional quality of eggs produced by hens from both management systems, said the Poultry Science Association (PSA). The findings also showed that cholesterol levels in all eggs were lower than U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, prompting the USDA to review and revise downward its estimates for average cholesterol levels in eggs...Glad to be of help.
Based on these results, Dr. Anderson concluded that "a significant nutritional advantage of eggs produced by chickens housed on range versus in cages could not be established."

The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
