I agree Mark. I put the web sites in links in the egg info post so they would be easy to click on and read. Except for the egg nutrition site, not one of them is part of the commercial egg industry. The Penn State, thepoultrysite.com, and the others are research sites. There was one news site that did not give a works cited from research and I was hoping someone would pick that up.
Because the purpose of an egg is to reproduce, adding more nutrients doesn't change the max vitamins that eggs need to support life. From experience, I know that store bought boiled eggs are more sulfur smelly than fresh eggs. Fresh eggs taste better even if they don't want to peel when boiled.
If an egg isn't refrigerated they start to deteriorate and results in lower egg quality. A room temperature, fertile egg actually starts to grow after being laid until the embryo dies if not incubated. see thepoultrysite.com That is why fertile eggs for hatching need special temps and humidity conditions to stay fertile longer.

I love eggs and they are my main source of protein. My doc told fish and eggs are the best. Fish is getting iffy...so eggs it is.

Amen. I'm at times unpopular with a few of my relatives who continually forward those almost believable emails about every subject under the sun. I'll actually take the 30 seconds required to research them and if turns out to be BS, I'll do a "Reply All" to everyone they sent it to with the truth on the subject and links to back it up.
I've been accused of intentionally trying to make some relatives look stupid, to which I've been known to reply, "You don't need my help there. I'm just making sure people don't believe the misinformation you passed along." Some eventually figure it out and check out the things they forward, some just keep reaffirming their stupidity.
