drink egg beaters?

[axiomatic6]

Hi, is it safe to drink egg beaters, which is a liquid product made from egg whites only?

[GUnit33]

Gross.

Not egg beaters, it's the blue one. Should be right next to it. Do
the egg whites.

[axiomatic6]

is it SAFE to drink them??? i dont want to get salmonella or somehting.

[305GUY]

your fine to drink them... its just disgusting!!!

It's OK. I usually mix it in protien drink. It's not like the raw egg-white
snot. Mix it and you won't even know it's there.

egg beaters are pastuerized so they are fine to egg raw. that is the whole reason they exist. that stuff is a rip off though. you need a whole carton to get a meal out of. jsut buy eggs and use the whites

[novastepp]

yes, you can.

[InsaneInTheMembrane]

you can, but I suggest you read up on why some people believe raw egg whites are useless. According to some experts, the protein of eggwhite is very poor on bio-availibity and depletes your body of biotin...look it up for your personal education.

He wasn't talking about raw egg whites....egg beaters....come in a carton. Egg whites need to be cooked though, like you pointed out.

Doesn't the process of pasteurization involve heat?

Doesn't heat deactivate the specific protein ("avidin") in raw egg whites?

Isn't this protein that which is noted as the cause of the biotin depletion?

That being said, eggbeaters (pasteurized eggwhites) would have high bio-availability..

ok, my bad nark and audis,

I am not familiar with egg beaters!

cheers

No worries bro!

no prob bro... You were spot on about eggwhites tho.

[InsaneInTheMembrane]

hey audis and nark,

just did search on how egg whites were pasteurized..here's what I found from one site:

How do you Pasteurize Egg Whites?
The Egg Whites are run through a series of heated tubes, almost like a big still, just hot enough to kill bacteria but not enough to cook the eggs. They are then tested for any signs of Salmonella bacteria.

So, what d'you guys think?

I'm really trying to educate myself on the product...not looking to get into an argument or anything!

cheers

'cook' in this instance refers to the process of the coagulation... you know: when the eggwhites solidify.

They don't heat it long enough for this to happen..

But yes, salmonella is killed.. and avidin deactivated

[audis4]

dido!

Okay, got it! Thanx bro,

good thread, very informative

[Superhuman]

it's fine to drink - it's pasteurized... why not just cook real eggs? surely you're not too lazy, right? I eat 24 eggs a day, 12 for breakfast and 12 before bed. I grill them with coconut oil and it only takes like 5 min.

ya, I eat 30 per day.

dayum, how do you pull that off?

The pasteurized eggs are heated to about 126-130 degrees for 2.5-3.5 minutes to neutralize the protein inhibitor found in raw eggs, making it bio-available. It is also enough to kill any forms of bacteria and neutralize avidin, a glycoprotein found specifically in the egg whites, that blocks the uptake of Vit-B6 along with Vitamin H (also known as Biotin). The avidin binds to iron and biotin making them unavailable.

I've actually pasteurized them before in a chem/bio class. Very simple to do. But at the rate a normal bb goes through eggs, it's a lot cheaper to buy whole eggs and just cook the damn whites.

10 in the morning

10 about 2 meals later

10 for my last meal

I love egg whites!

Great info buffsob! I'm glad you and Nark were here to put the whole drinking egg-whites dillemma to a great conclusion (with good scientific background) since alot of ppl seem to wonder abt this all the time.

1. Cooked egg whites =
2. Raw Egg Whites =
3. Pasreurized eggs whites (like egg beaters) =

cheers
