Raw eggs

[themusic]

anyone else drink these? i have been for months now,usually around 4 per day just to make up my protein when i aint ate enough but i thought id google it today when i was bored, i know everyone and his sister will think drinking raw eggs will cause salmonella but in actual fact there is around 1 salmonella egg per 30,000, and the more you drink them the more your body becomes immune to the bacteria found in eggs.

[ProdigalSon2007]

Yep, I used to eat them pretty frequently as well just because it is so convenient and quick to get your intake of EAA's that way. The salmonella probability doesn't scare me as much as the possible biotin deficiency.

ewwwwww phlegm in a glass
No thanks Ill stick to my protein shakes thank you

[Landon]

I used to do it after I saw Rocky do it when I was a kid .LOL

I dont think it will hurt you but not sure why you just wouldnt boil them ,taste better.

What's wrong with whey powder? It's 2007... :P Rocky was like 30 years ago.

Eggs are expensive right? (wouldn't know cos I don't buy them... ) you want cheap protein then get some tins of Tuna

Just a quick shout out to anyone who thinks it's cool to drink raw eggs... I used to work in a laboratory that did food testing in Canada. I would recommend not eating raw eggs unless you'd like a bad case of salmonella. Regulations in Canada require refridgerated trucks for transportation, and even then we would get quite a few cases of Salmonella in stool samples, and from various people on a regular basis. This was resultant of undercooked, or raw eggs.

If you live in the States or elsewhere, where the regulations are even more lax (sometimes they're VERY lax in America), let me just direct you to AdamGB's comment about having Whey Powder instead. Please, it's a much safer, and better bet.

-best.



p.s. themusic, just a quick note, but because you used Wikipedia to discover a statistic of 1 in 30,000 eggs doesn't mean that the statistic is from simply raw egg drinking. That number doesn't account for the estimated 660,000 cases of Salmonella poisoning per annum, let alone the fact that approx 5% of that number results in hospitalization. Most cases covered involve handling processes that are thought to be safe.

when your aim is to get through 300g of protien a day you have to have whey,tuna and raw eggs and basically anything you can get your hands on raw eggs are cheap and quick way to get your protien count up

Mate 300 grams a day? Unless you weight over 200 kilos you don't need this much protein. In fact this much protein would do more harm then good. It would make your liver work way to friking hard!

To answer the main question. Raw eggs are good for you. I have 5 a day mixed in my protein shakes, don't think I could eat them by themselves. Yuk. I always leave out the yolk though and only use the egg white. Too many yolks will raise your cholesterol levels.

[The_One77]

lol Why not just cook the eggs and eliminate the problem right there and then?
Eggs are known to be a very high quality protein but eggs shouldn't be your main source because they contain so few grams, an egg white contains 3 grams of protein.
300 grams is probably not needed unless you weigh 220+ lbs, the body can only use so many EAA's so alot of that protein will not be absorbed.

Food Poisoning anyone....

[ono]

just as cheap to buy pasturised liquid egg whites from protein shops.

no food poisoning

or just cook the eggs......if you dont have time to cook an egg you might wanna ease up on your daily schedule.
