Are raw egg whites OK?

[novastepp]

many believe that raw eggwhites cannot be digested by the body. so i would just cook them.

Cooking them makes them more bio-available to the body.

That would make me want to cook them, aside from not liking to drink snot.

Damn true......

Raw egg whites is the best way to get some Salmonella.......good luck bro w/ that!

raw eggs = low bioavailability
cooked eggs = high bioavailability
raw pasteurized eggs = high bioavailability
cooked pasteurized eggs = low bioavailability

so, if they're regular eggs, cook em. if you really want eggs to eat raw in a shake or whatever have you, get the pasteurized kind.

Why are the pasteurized eggs higher when taken raw?

Yeah, I believe you can drink them if they are pasteurized...I'm also interested in that. I've been cooking pasteurized eggs for God knows how long..

yea, the pasteurization process kills any harmful bacteria in them. they are completely safe to drink raw and are far more bio-available that way.

if you're gonna cook them, stick with the regular eggs, not pasteurized.

well, this is information that was provided to me in another thread and i never fully researched it, but i know the information is correct as it was confirmed by two others, one being a mod, i believe nark.

i believe it's because the pasteurization process is basically a cooking process done at a low temperature but in a way that completely eliminates the harmful bacteria. since it's already in a sense cooked, the avidin in the egg is destroyed, eliminating the limiting factor in it's bio-availability.

further cooking of these eggs would therefore in a sense be overcooking the protein in it. for those who don't know, though cooking to some extent can increase the bio-availability of some foods, overcooking can dramatically decrease the bio-availability.

I down 24 raw eggs a day . I never knew about pasteurized and non pasteurized . Are eggs marked , where do I find pasteurized ?

Do you eat the yellow part as well?

look i stated before
egg whites have a high affinity for bioitin which means they bind to it and prevent your body form absorbint and can make ur body depleted of biotin VERY FAST
plus like sc said BA sux in uncooked eggwhites

if u do them raw eat the whole egg.. 2-5 eggs in a shake bu tnot the white alone u need the 25mcg of biotin per yolk to off set the binding affinity of whites

[JC2007]

Why would you NOT want to cook them?

[lzicc]

That is good to hear. I get the pasturized eggs fairly cheap. I quit adding them to my morning shake cause I thought that it wasn't worth it. I am rethinking that one now. Thanks for that piece of information.

So you're saying that 2-5 eggs plus the yolks is better than adding just 5 egg whites in a shake cause the body absorbs them better this way?
But adding yolks in the shake also may raise the cholesterol levels, isn't that why we eat egg whites only?
Correct me if i'm wrong please

[Thug Nasty]

Scrambled eggs are the best.

[ph34rsh4ck]

my roommate drank some of our liquid eggwhites, and he broke out all over his back in hives for about 2 hours, but that might just be him, was enough to make me not do it though
