N2 - Lutein is a carotenoid found in egg yolk, dark green leafy and Brassica vegetables. Lutein may protect against some cancers, cardiovascular disease, reduce radiation‐induced inflammation, and may act as an antioxidant against photo‐induced free radicals. While some studies indicate regular eggs are a bioavailable source of lutein, it is not known whether or not n‐3 fatty acid enriched eggs and organic eggs would also be a good source of bioavailable lutein. Twenty healthy, free‐living lacto‐ovo vegetarians were randomly assigned to one of 3 treatments for 8 wk each with a 4 wk washout between treatments in a crossover study. The dietary treatments were: n‐3 fatty acid enriched egg (6/wk), organic egg (6/wk), or control diets. Mixed linear models were used to analyze the treatment effects. A significantly (p
