This single, convenient reference focuses on current scientific data covering:

The influence of eggs on health and disease risk factors.
The emergence of modified eggs–eggs from specially fed chickens used to produce and deliver drugs, nutrients,a nd immunotherapies to patients.
The use of eggs to directly prevent or treat diseases.
Written by well–known and highly respected scientists, is filled with useful information for health practitioners, researchers, oncologists, nutritional therapists, pharmacologists, dietitians, comercial egg producers, and health conscious general public.
