Raw Eggs - Problematic?

[MrDbol]

I love raw egg whites. I take a dozen, pour the egg whites into a large glass and drink, it gets me really going after a workout. Hearsay tells me that it is unhealthy. I love it. Anybody have any info. on the health issues associated with eating raw eggs?

Recently my doctor diagnosed me with H. Pilori, a bacteria in the stomach that eventually causes stomach cancer. I am taking care of it. Can it be related to the raw egg diet?

Raw eggs can have E coli in them and bacteria if not cooked. A few months ago i used to put 6 raw egg whites into a shake to get extra protein in my diet every morning. I did it for about a yr or two and never had any problems. I personally liked eating the eggs like that than cooking them. They went down a lot easier and the shake hid their taste totally. Not sure if u ever heard anyone say something about a "bad egg". Well if u accidentally eat one, you'll be on the toilet for a week straight. (E Coli) Turns out if you are a young child or very small you can die from it. I stay away from the raw eggs from now on and you should too. I hope this helps.

Although i like raw eggs as well,eating them it blocks the uptake of biotin,this is a vitamin b,
Follow up on what biotin can do for you and if you can do without it,im no expert but i suspect that you should consider cooking those egg whites.

I also know of a bodybuider that was hospitalised from ecoli ,he was so sick he spent a few days in hospital and will not ever take uncooked eggs again,he wasnt aware of the consequences so there you go.

you can buy pasturized eggs. they are raw, but freee of bacteria i think. i dont think bacteria lives in the white anyway, just the yolk. i could be wrong about both thesae things though.

I use to eat 30 a day, raw for over a year. Mostly the whites, without any problems except for the upset stomach if I had too many yokes.
Just getting back into the weights now and getting back into the eggs after a year lay off
I find I get great results with them, no less than powders.
Does cooking them harm the protien level?
Cheers.

pasturized eggs are sweet and wont hurt you
even if your not having a shake put them into a glass of milk and there ya go around 25g of protein

I personally do not like raw eggs. I will gladly spend the extra 4 or 5 minutes scrambling them.
