Sport Drinking Raw Eggs

[Ride_On]

Found this....





I seem to remember Derwyddon/Western Skye saying something about trypsin inhibitors a few years back which rang a bell in the gap between my ears

That's interesting, because a lot of vitamins get destroyed in high heat. So while the protein may become more readily absorbable, you might be losing out on other aspects. Not that I don't cook my food , but it's just a fact.

PS: You can definitely get Salmonella from eating eggs. I wasn't implying that because the disease comes from the shell, you can't contract it. I'm just saying that there's thought that if, for instance, you wash the shells, you may reduce the risk. And of course, if it's on the inside of the shell (haven't really researched this topic so I don't know much), then obviously you are still at high risk.

Oh, and another thing I wanted to add is that eating raw whites in large quantities can reduce your absorption of Biotin, so keep in the mind if you're going to be doing this frequently and in abundance. Avidin, a protein in egg whites, binds Biotin, but is denatured during cooking. Thus, the reaction occurs only in raw whites.

I think it's the same with meats, cooking increases the bioavailability of proteins. Maybe it's best to eat raw or steamed veg and cooked animal products then?

And thanks for clearing that up with the eggs

BigT,

Drop an egg into a coffee cup and microwave it for 1 min. Then eat it. You may have to experiment with your microwave to get the timing down, but it’s easy. Cleaning the cup is another matter.

I put two in and cook for 2 min after puncturing the yokes so it cooks solid.

I know Typhon does this same thing.

Hey good memory it's also the only thing I use our coffee cups for, but yeah, cleaning them isn't so easy

When I first read your post I thought you were suggesting putting an egg into a cup of coffee and then nuking it!

keester them anally

then you will get faster absorption

Technically speaking, you're probably right on the raw/steamed veggies and cooking protein. But I don't really know. There are so many variables. And I haven't seen any drastic problems with vitamin deficiencies in people that cook their veggies ya know? .

Truthfully, though, the must nutritionally dense way to eat veggies is to either eat them or cook them without using water, but even cooking without water can have adverse effects. When cooked in water, many of the water soluble (the "Bs" and vitamin C) vitamins are absorbed into the water and out of the plant. However, some of these nutrients get degraded in high heat, some not, some only in microwave heat, etc etc. Unless you're eating your veggies raw all the time, you'd have to get REALLY picky and tedious with regard to which specific vitamins you're losing/gaining which respective cooking methods. Bottom line, I wouldn't worry too much about that, not unless you have a vitamin deficiency, which is extremely rare to begin with.

About the shell being mixed and all, do you actually get any nutritional value from the shells? I wonder what Chuck Norris does to his eggs lmao.

Anyone who wants to eat raw eggs, google: avidin.

I wouldent avoid raw eggs just because of Salmonella. I always use raw eggs to make ceasar dressing, hollandaise sauce, and homemade mayo. Plus, I love sunny side up eggs!

If you are truly worried about getting sick, they do sell pasteurized shell eggs, that are totally safe to eat raw.
