Why should I cook my eggs?

[guest589745]

Any reason because I have been eating like 3 yolks and 15 whites a day sometimes. Always raw in my shakes.

I dont seem to have any stomach problems with this or anything of that nature.

Egg beaters too?

[-JaH-]

are they regular eggs from teh carton? if so they arent bio available which i think you get about 50% lost in the digestion process and you can get salmonela...or however you spell it

[guest589745]

No shit? 50%!!!!!!!!!! No fuc*in way!!!!

There have been various threads on this.. I'm pretty sure if they are pasterized (egg beaters) then they are fine to drink.

I'd run a search Skull U know better than that lol

WAY overrated. I dont know where this salmonella crap started, I mean sure if you dont refrigerate your eggs it could happen but who does that? What do you think they put in salad dressings and a host of other regular foods you eat? Raw eggs man. As long as your refrigerate it, I approximate about a 1 in ten billion shot of you getting salmonella from 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.
