There's a little market down the street from my apartment. It's the sort of place that carries fourteen different types of olive tapenade, stocks eight varieties of imported rare mushrooms, and sells only artisinal cheeses. I stop in on my way home from work every now and then when I want something different and a little la-ti-da.
Yesterday evening I brought home duck eggs. Larger than chicken eggs, and with mottled shells, duck eggs have bigger yolks and a slightly higher fat and protein content. There's a hot debate about whether duck eggs are better for baking -- because the whites contain more protein, they create fluffier cakes and cookies. Sounds like a good thing to me, but you can experiment and make the call yourself.
Turns out duck eggs offer health benefits over chicken eggs as well. While chicken eggs are acidic, duck eggs are alkaline. Good news for cancer patients, because cancer cells need an acidic environment to thrive, and duck eggs can help you to alkalize your body.

Thank you i have found my answer in your post here.
My late grandma was diagnosed with lung cancer 4 yrs back and Doctor has given approximately 3 months times for her to live on which was shattering to all of us. Due to poor health my grandma could not eat or drink well. During that time, my eldest sister used to boil duck egg and give to her morning and evening 1 each as this duck egg was the only food my grandma likes during those time.
My grandma live on for more then a year to everyone surprise.
