Eggs

[modiddly16]

On another bored, someone posted that "it has been determined that eggs have wheat and soy in the yolk"

I've never seen this information anywhere and was curious as to where this came from, the truth behind it and if anyone had an information?

It just kinda baffled me and I'd like to know more about it!

I have never heard that....I am not sure how that would happen... I believe that is probably a myth but maybe another member here can shed some more light.

People make assumptions. Often they are wrong. Just because a chicken eats wheat grain does not mean that the egg has gluten. I eat eggs with ZERO problems. I buy organic, free range vegetarian 4 grain feed eggs. I am sure one of those 4 grains is wheat because it is cheap. One is surely corn. I have issues with corn, but not eggs. I have issues with gluten, but not eggs. Gluten gives me vertigo and headache. Eggs dont.

I did some research online for 10 minutes and found NOTHING to support this. But I did find this recipe that looks yummy

i eat eggs every day and i feel fine. i agree that it sounds like a myth.

All commercially produced chicken feed contains one or more gluten grains and usually soy but I think it's irresponsible for that person to make a claim that eggs contain gluten without backing it up. I own chickens and eat many eggs. I've spent a great deal of time researching poultry nutrition and discussing it with our extension service and I just don't see how that's possible and wouldn't believe it unless I saw multiple reputable studies on the subject.

I also read the board where that was posted. My guess but I think that someone is trying to sell their product.

I eat eggs, and they haven't glutened me. Some chemicals, hormones, pesticides, etc get into meat/eggs/dairy when fed to the animal, but gluten is a protein, it isn't a chemical and shouldn't transfer into the animals eggs, as far as I know.

if thats the case, i better walk around in a bubble.

I would think that protien (gluten) is broken down into a differant form before it is absorbed by the animal. It would be impossible for a whole protien to make its way into the chickens egg. The egg has protien of it's own. besides, wouldn't they have to label that eggs contain wheat?

pretty rediculous... I dont believe a lot of things people say.

My mom would say, "Consider the source!", and "Don't believe everything you read!" It's not true, and that's all there is to it!
