once again this is something that comes up alot.

in previous threads alot of people wanted to see some studies about the possible cause of the believed decrease in BV of raw egg protein. Ill post a couple up.

Amount and fate of egg protein escaping assimilation in the small intestine of humans.

Evenepoel P, Claus D, Geypens B, Hiele M, Geboes K, Rutgeerts P, Ghoos Y.

Department of Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology, Gastrointestinal Research Centre, University Hospital Leuven, B-3000 Louvain, Belgium.

Studies attempting to evaluate protein assimilation in humans have hitherto relied on either ileostomy subjects or intubation techniques. The availability of stable isotope-labeled protein allowed us to determine the amount and fate of dietary protein escaping digestion and absorption in the small intestine of healthy volunteers using noninvasive tracer techniques. Ten healthy volunteers were studied once after ingestion of a cooked test meal, consisting of 25 g of (13)C-, (15)N-, and (2)H-labeled egg protein, and once after ingestion of the same but raw meal. Amounts of 5.73% and 35.10% (P < 0.005) of cooked and raw test meal, respectively, escaped digestion and absorption in the small intestine. A significantly higher percentage of the malabsorbed raw egg protein was recovered in urine as fermentation metabolites. These results 1) confirm that substantial amounts of even easily digestible proteins may escape assimilation in healthy volunteers and 2) further support the hypothesis that the metabolic fate of protein in the colon is affected by the amount of protein made available.

------------- Another study

Egg white protein is generally considered to be less digestible than heat-pretreated egg white protein...In this study, it was shown that after ingestion of 25 g of raw egg protein, almost 50% is malabsorbed over 24 h. The higher digestibility of cooked egg protein presumably results from structural changes in the protein molecule induced by heating, thereby enabling the digestive enzymes to gain broader access to the peptide bonds. It has been suggested that the reduced digestibility of raw egg white is at least partially related to the presence of trypsin inhibitors in raw egg white (Matthews 1990).

ive also said previously that according to these studies show the BV of raw egg protein is about 50-65% and cooked is about 90%

"ileostomy subjects" though.

I just consume more eggs. If I have time, I'll cook them, if not, I drink them raw (whole) with oats, cinnamon.

Not noticed a difference in much, apart from I feel far fuller when eating them compared to drinking the same amount. But thats expected.

Infact, I took in 6 raw whole eggs this morning with oats (cooked) and cinnamon. That keeps me fuller than the entire lot blended.

I know what the study says, but I have heard it from over 4-5 nuttrionists now thats its absolutely fine to consume whole eggs raw.

cool well rocky used to eat them raw pmsl to be honest i have been puttin them in my shake for about a week but i just wanted to run past you guys to here your opinions
