i started drinking these egg whites in a carton, any opinion?

[assbeater]

the stuff tastes like shit, but i down a 250ml carton in seconds, which contains 25 grams of protein, then i have juice, pop, water, anything to get rid of the taste. does anyone else drink these. they are cheaper than bars or shakes ($1.99 for two cartons) and are just as convenient (but don't taste as good!).

do a search on raw eggs or egg whites.

From what I found the body cannot digest raw eggs. I did a yahoo search on "EGG ALBUMIN"

Here's one quote I found :

"Limiting factor of egg is that it does not contain vitamin C. Raw albumin contains an anti digestive factor that interferes with digestion. Egg also has a compound called avadin, which react with biotin (Vitamin H) and make it unavailable. Both these factors get destroyed on heating."


But you will get wonderfull smelling gasiuos expulsions (ie FARTS)

Egg whites have more bioavailability if you cook them, drinking them raw isn't doing you much good...

YUM

 

[assbeater]

that would explain the farts! they are getting so bad that they are making me sick! thanks for the info bro's.

You need to cook those or you can get Salmonella. Not a good thing to have.

you wont get sallmanila as they are pasturised. as far as their bioavailability, i have been drinking edd whites for a few years and they seem to working fine for me. i just mix a carton of whites with a glass of milk. you cant even taste the eggs

 

[LONE_AZ]

Did think of that. Was thinking of raw eggs

 

[assbeater]

the reason i thought it would be ok to drink them is becasue they are pasturized. i also thought that thats why i should be able todigest them!

Simply Egg whites correct?

I eat that shit twice every day for 12 weeks on a diet last year. I can't even look at it anymore without wanting to puke. Same thing with sole fillets.

I use to cook them, however. I think they have a recipe for a shake on the side. Maybe you can try something like that. I Think mixing them with a hand blender would help digestion.
