Anyone else eat over a dozen raw eggs a day?

thats a shit load of eggs bro. i throw a few in my protein once a day. i read somewhere that the digestion problem comes from consuming too many at once. but i dont know how true that is.

I eat "omega 3" eggs. Instead of animal by-pruducts, the chickens are fed flax seed, vegetable oil, and extra vitamin e. This results in the eggs the following differences.


Regular Egg

fat: 5.0 g
omega 6 polysaturates: .04g
monosaturates: 1.9g
saturates: 1.6g
cholesterol: 216mg
vitamin e 7% daily value

Omega 3 Egg

fat: 4.9g
omega 6 polysaturates: .40g
monosaturates: 1.2g
saturates: 1.1g
cholesterol: 166mg
vitamin e 35% daily value
 
raw egg whites make a banana and milk shake creamy and taste damn good. lot of other countries eat raw eggs- they hardly have any problems with it. salmonella is pretty rare- but its out there
 
Personally, I eat eggs BECAUSE of the fat, as well as the protien. If I were just going for protien, I think egg whites are a hassle. I'd rather just grab a can of tuna or a shake.
 
I've eaten a dozen and a half egg whites in one day. I cook them on the stove and put some Swiss cheese in but never would eat them raw. You can buy powdered egg whites in the health food store which is a good way to make a shake add to it.
 
Yeah, I have to agree that salmonella could be a problem. I used to eat raw eggs mixed in with orange juice. Sometimes I'd leave the yolks in, sometimes I'd just do egg whites. I was hoping that the ascorbic acid (a source of Vitamin C) would kill any salmonella present as it is often used as a preservative also. Any thoughts guys? Is there a reliable way to safeguard against the salmonella?

I quit doing that because I constantly heard people warning about the salmonella issue. Every time I felt a little queasy I would get worried I was going to be barfing my guts out any minute!

I also heard something about a substance being present, I can't remember exactly what it was at the moment, but it disappears after cooking but hampers digestion of certain nutrients beforehand.

It was mentioned in another post that people in other countries don't seem to have as many problems with salmonella and raw eggs as we do here. That could also be partly because in some countries they wouldn't be sure where the salmonella poison came from if they got it (with all the raw undercooked weird stuff some countries eat) and partly because of our poultry raising practices here in America. Chickens get salmonella from eating mouse crap and probably from eating each other's crap, they don't generally have it unless they're packed in warehouses.

It could also just be that it is really rare, I'm not sure. I'm a little skiddish about it though.

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

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.
