You’re avoiding seed oils. Skipping canola. Saying no to soybean oil.

But are your eggs sneaking it all back in?

I was shocked to learn that four conventional eggs contain more PUFAs than a tablespoon of canola oil. Even more stunned to realize that labels like “pastured,” “free-range,” and even “organic” aren’t protecting us the way we think.

In today’s episode, I sat down with Ashley Armstrong—a mechanical engineer turned regenerative farmer and founder of Angel Acres and Nourish Cooperative—to expose the dirty truth behind our egg supply. We break down how most “healthy” eggs are still packed with polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), why that’s a metabolic nightmare, and how industrial chicken feed is quietly hijacking your health goals.

We also dig into the sketchy marketing terms used by big food companies to fool well-meaning consumers, why bird flu panic is likely more scam than science, and what it means when your eggshells are too thin to crack cleanly.

This episode will change the way you shop—and help you rethink what quality food really means.
