There is no serious scientific research that confirms that pregnant women who eat goose eggs are smart, or goose eggs are better for babies than other poultry eggs.

In terms of nutritional value, goose eggs are slightly higher in protein than chicken eggs (13.5% compared with 12.5%), but lipid levels are higher (13.2% compared to 11.6%). About vitamins, goose eggs are much less than eggs. In particular, vitamin A is essential for pregnant women but the content of goose eggs is only half that of chicken eggs.

Therefore, nutrition experts recommend that, instead of trying to eat goose eggs (few women feel good when eating this food), pregnant women should use chicken eggs. The American Food and Nutrition Encyclopedia writes: "Chicken eggs are a miracle of nature, one of the most complete foods that mankind has known. Ingredients of protein, lipid, glucide, The vitamins and minerals in chicken eggs have a very reasonable coordination rate, helping to foster good health ".

Chicken eggs are also used by Vietnamese traditional medicine as a nutritious medicine. Oriental medicine called egg yolk is 'millet death', has negative effects, good for spleen, insomnia due to sound damage . In the old days when visiting people pregnant, giving birth, ever people also brought dozens of chicken eggs as gifts.
