I wonder if free range eggs also contain higher levels of Vitamin D. I was just thinking the other day that my girls are outside all day in the sunshine so wouldn't my eggs contain a higher level of D? I was reading that dogs produce vitamin D from the sun through their fur and people through the skin, so wouldn't chickens produce it through their feathers? Store eggs come from chickens which probably never see actual sunlight.

(me, just wondering...)

TipsyDog- you are probably right on the Vit. D thing.!

Where do these numbers come from? Who did the research?

I don't know who did the research for that particular page, but Mother Earth News did the research some time ago. In fact, I use the information from the MEN research on an information sheet I include in every dozen eggs I sell:
