Dear Egg Buyer,

THE DEVELOPER

I was the first world developer of the high Omega-3 in eggs. I did that in 1988 before anyone else. And now, many competitors have Omega-3s, but our eggs are richer than organic eggs. Can you believe that Coca-Cola Canada just started in 2007 with Mango-Orange Passion juice with 50mg of Omega-3 (fish oils)? We were using (fish oils) Omega-3s 19 years before this Omega-3 juice.

THE SEVEN SCIENTISTS

I asked the seven scientists if they would come to Maine on the 1st Egg Weekend. This was great fun, and I learned a great deal of information. The 2nd Egg Weekend followed in the second year, and another one in the 3rd year. The two leading experts on Omega-3s were Hugh Sinclair, MD, PhD in Oxford and Artemis Simopoulos, MD of the National Institutes of Health (N.I.H.).

HUGH SINCLAIR, MD, PhD

Among other things, Dr. Sinclair went to visit Eskimos in North Greenland with two of his colleagues from Denmark. The two researchers, Dr. Bang and Dr. Dyerberg, had a most interesting adventure. They had twenty teams of dogsleds for this expedition. One of the great findings of the research was that the local hospital, seeing 2,000 people, had not one reported heart attack in ten years! Also, they found that Eskimos ate at least 10 grams of Omega-3 per day by eating fish, seal meat, whale meat, and blubber.

ARTEMIS P. SIMOPOULOS, MD

Dr. Simopoulos helped me with my eggs and the higher Omega-3s. For 9 consecutive years, she chaired the Nutritionist Coordinating Committee at N.I.H. She started and was the co-founder of the journal on Omega-3. She is a frequent guest speaker at medical conferences; she has written scientific articles and has been interviewed by newspapers and has been on television around the world. Her capacity, intelligence and her work in a complex field of science is amazing. She wrote, with Jo Robinson, a beautiful book titled 'The Omega Plan'. One of the studies, in 1996, found that men who ate fatty fish on a regular basis were 42% less likely to die from a heart attack than men who did not eat fish.

SUMMARY

The other scientists told me about other things, and I hope to write about them soon. But since I was the first with high Omega-3 in eggs, I should be able to give a great 'congratulations' for Mango-Orange Passion!!! Since January 2007 they are selling the great juice in Canada with 50mg of Omega-3 (fish oils) Hip Hip Hooray!

For those at the Country Hen,
