new research debunks trad views on nutrition

I think it's a mock up to illustrate a point. I don't know if the product is real or not.

This is a real, plant-based "egg" product. Part of the Vegan "health" movement.

Honestly, I'm surprised they haven't been sued in California as part of one of those class action "likelihood of confusion" cases. It seems to me a better claim then "I thought {sugary breakfast cereal} was healthy" or "my potato chip bag contains a lot of air, making it appear there are more content than is actually present" type cases (both examples of real lawsuits here in Litigation-prone US.

They also made a 'just Mayo' product. It was great tasting and a test kitchen vegan winner. Unfortunately they wanted to boost the sales and paid people to go around and buy it all. Rather bizarre.
And the mayonnaise companies were suing because of the lack of eggs.

If there is no Egg it is, definitionally, NOT Mayonnaise. That's like making a "Bearnaise" with no tarragon, or a "Hollandaise" w/o melted butter and lemon.

I’d say this leaves a lot to be desired on the egg side. Here’s a more complete breakdown.

That's disingenuous; typical big ag/ultra processed food industry misdirection.
This is better:

"General Chemical Composition of Hen Eggs, H. Sugino, T. Nitoda, L.R. Juneja

This chapter describes the general chemical compositions of hen eggs in the market with some comments about the factors affecting the egg composition. The weight and composition of each structural part of hen eggs are more or less different depending on the species, feeding, age of hens, and so on. The main chemical components of hen egg are 12% lipids, 12% proteins, and the rest is water and small amounts of carbohydrates and minerals. Proteins are distributed in all parts of the egg, but most of them are present in the egg yolk and the egg white amounting to 44% and 50%, respectively. Lipids in eggs include true fats, phosphorus, nitrogen and/or sugar-containing lipids, and sterols. Unlike egg white, egg yolk is a homogeneously emulsified fluid. The major portion of egg yolk exists as lipoproteins which are separated into plasma and granule fractions. The chapter presents the composition and physical properties of egg white proteins and egg yolk proteins."

It’s just a scientific breakdown of what actually makes up an egg. No misdirection at all, just textbook, verifiable data. How you choose to interpret it I suppose is up to you.

No it isn't. It's presented in a way absolutely typical of ultra processed food and in a way quite unlike a scientific description.

I agree!
And it is now possible to buy mayo made from certified humane eggs - which is not a perfect certification but certainly a lot more meaningful than organic or pasture raised because it is independently verified against criteria you can actually read.
Of course you can also make your own mayo.

You can think whatever you want. But if you test an egg you’ll end up with what I posted. Just because people are scared of big chemically sounding words doesn’t make the words are evil or incorrect or an agenda.

If so, you should be able to supply a reference to where an egg was tested and gave this result.
