Raw whites? Isn't is possible to get salmonella bacteria that way?

yes u culd

 

[future1]

But I have been doing that for the last couple of years and nothing so far (touch wood)

The only reason I wouldn't eat raw eggwhites is the fact that you don't get all of the protien compared to if they were cooked. Unless they are the prepackaged pasturized egg product.

so what makes that if cooked u get more protein than if it raw??>?

Albumen in the urine is a general sign, as studies show that a significantly higher amount of malabsorbed protein (egg) was found in the urine of healthy individuals (1). Stable isotope techniques are used to determine the digestibility of raw eggs vs. cooked eggs. In another study, using this method, it was demonstrated that the assimilation of cooked egg protein is efficient, albeit incomplete, and that the true ileal digestibility of egg protein is significantly enhanced by heat-pretreatment (2). Heat-pretreatment of course being cooked.
Not to mention you have a 1 in 30,000 chance to get salmonella from a raw egg. Also, if you blend raw eggs or whatever, you can break up the chemical bonds of amino acids where as cooking them can hook the bonds together, which inevitably is the objective.

In other words the protein is protected by an indigestible molecule until in is denatured.

Dietary cholestrol dont mess with your blood cholestrol levels. Yolks may make you fat b/c of its fat content . If you eat a LOT of yolks the saturated fat content may raise your cholestrol levels

Why would you get more protein from cooked eggs verses raw egg whites that does not make sense eggs have the same protein content raw or cooked does not matter.

I eat 4 dozen whole eggs per week. i have had my chlol. levels checked numerous time in the last few years...and I have never EVER had a problem... As far as fats go, according to Mr.X and several other diet guru's, you need up to 80g per day of fat. but I would assume that is NOT Sat. fats.

I work for a Landscaper, who happens to have had 23 years of post grad doctorate schooling (aka, he is a doctor that knows everything almost)--he said hi Chol. is like number ten on the list of bad shit, especially if you are eating lean and healthy as is..also, your body produces chol. that it needs, the excess is often flushed out of your system..

Remember, we're all different and different things will be different for each of us (did I use the word 'different' too many times?). Check your cholesterol and if it's fine, then I wouldn't worry too much. If you're gaining some fat, cut it back to only 3 or 4 yolks a day. A good idea is to get checked and then experiment. I eat eggs frequently, as well, but out of a dozen, only 3 or 4 yolks.....I gain fat easily.
