Bioavailability of raw egg whites?

[XstabberX]

What is the difference in cooking a cup of egg whites or adding a cup to a shake? Does heat effect the bioavailability of the protein and if so what's better?

Cooked eggs are more nutrient than raw eggs.

Highly unsafe? Why are they more so now than in previous times?

salmonella, hormones, they have increasingly risen

I think the level of salmonella is the same of 30 years ago. But if you say that 30 yeas ago we produced less eggs than nowaday which it equals to less salmonella eggs on the planet, yes, you are right.

Here is what I found:
According to the Centers for Disease Control, 1 in 10,000 eggs contain Salmonella. Eggs involved in Salmonellosis are almost always Grade A commercial eggs. Contrary to popular beliefs, cracked eggs are not generally responsible for the Salmonella problem. An intact shell by no means guarantees safe eggs. Likewise, cage free eggs, free-range eggs, organic eggs, or brown eggs are in no way exempt from the Salmonella risk.
