    raw eggs dont get completely abosrbed by your system

    from what I read, only 50% of it's protein gets absorbed.

    I ve been drinking raw eggs for about 6 years and never had salmonella poisoning.
    A Russan tip, drink raw eggs mixed with dark beer with no alcohol

    I have a question related to eggs. It seems that whenever someone posts information on their diet, they always start with how many eggs they eat in the morning. Well, unfortunately I don't like a lot of things that people list as part of their diet. I do not like eggs and I do not like tuna. I try to get my protein by other sources of lean protein such as chicken, turkey, soy protein and protein powder. What would be something else that I could consume for breakfast besides eggs that would be high in protein? Are protein powders my only option? Sometimes I will eat a couple of low fat, wheat waffles with low fat peanut butter...its about 14 grams of protein for 2 waffles and a serving of peanut butter. Any ideas on other good breakfast items? Oh, and I also dont like yogurt or cottage cheese. It kinda makes my breakfast options bland and difficult.

    Whey and oats is a solid breakfast meal.... nothing wrong with it...
    Also, I see nothing wrong with eating chicken in the AM, I do it myself sometimes with my oats...
    Boring & bland, but it works........ and that's what counts to me!

    Also, I bet your low-fat PB has a ton of sugar in it....

    I was watching "good eats"(i believe it was a show on mayonaise) on "food tv" and the host said that you can add some lemon juice(or anything acidic if I remember right) to raw eggs at room temperature. However I did not hear how much lemon juice nor how long to keep it at room temp before ingestion. I will see if i can find some more info tommorow.

    I found this info on the net

    I found this article below while doing some reasearch on consuming raw eggs:

    Raw eggs for health
    I highly recommend consuming raw eggs as a way of making sure you get high quality protein and fats into your diet.

    Why would anyone eat the eggs in a raw form? Heating the egg protein actually changes its chemical shape, and it is this change in the protein structure which can easily be a cause of allergies. The heating also destroys many of the nutrients and proteins found inside the egg.

    What usually pops in people's minds when you talk about raw eggs are the risks of being infected with salmonella.

    There is no doubt that salmonella is a serious infection. Its symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, feve, chills. The symptoms of salmonella food poisoning can strike anyone, but they're more likely to hit 3 groups: the elderly; children; and people with HIV, cancer, or other diseases which impair the immune system.

    Salmonella is usually a self-limiting illness in healthy people
    However the truth is that salmonella is generally a benign self-limiting illness in healthy people. The key principle to keep in mind here is that if you are healthy a salmonella infection is not a big deal. You may feel sick and have loose stools for a day or 2, but this infection is easily treated by using high-quality probiotics which contain friendly bacteria. Take some probiotics every 30 minutes until you start to feel better, and in most cases your condition will improve within a few hours.

    The risk of salmonella infection is usually only present in traditionally raised commercial hens. If one purchases ones eggs from healthy chickens, the risk of infection is dramatically reduced. It's important to note that only sick chickens lay salmonella-contaminated eggs. If you purchase high quality, cage-free, organically fed, chicken eggs, the risks are dramatically reduced.

    If one looks at studies which have been done to analyse the risks of contracting salmonella from raw eggs, it is surprising to find out how low this risk actually is. A study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2002 (Risk Analysis April 2002 22(2):203-18) indicates that only 2.3 million, out of the 69 billion eggs produced annually, are contaminated with salmonella.

    So this really means that only 0.003 % of eggs are infected. Viewed another way, only 1 in every 30,000 eggs is contaminated with salmonella, which shows how uncommon this problem actually is.

    Based on those numbers, the average person would come across a contaminated egg only once in 42 years.

    What about the biotin-deficiency risks from eating too many raw egg whites?
    Egg whites contain a glycoprotein called "avidin" which binds biotin - one of the B vitamins - very effectively. The cooking process deactivates the avidin in the egg, much the same way it deactivates every other protein in the egg white.

    While it is true that eating too many raw egg whites by themselves will cause you to suffer from a biotin deficiency, the fact is that nature created the egg in such a way that its yolk is very rich in biotin. One of the highest concentration in nature. Eat the egg whole together with the egg white and you will be fine.

    To each his own, I know what I do.
