Are raw eggs dangerous?

[leoo129]

My mom, who's a doctor, told me to not include raw eggs in my diet because they're dangerous. I used to blend 1 or 2 for my homemade weight gainer. Now, I don't know what to do, if I boil them, do they blend the same?

What's your experience with it ?

They can be, but you also don't assimilate as much protein from them as a cooked egg, so pretty pointless... Unless you just finished watching Rocky.

You could just cook your eggs and eat them.

If I put dry oatmeal in my protein shake, I think you'll be okay with boiled eggs in yours. It might make your shake a little more pasty, but if you add a little more liquid, you should be fine.

I have eaten literally thousands of raw egg whites and never had a single issue.

I'm not saying something bad can't happen, just that in my experience the whole fear campaign on raw eggs seems a bit overblown.

It will not be the same if they are already cooked.

Your mom has a point. Raw eggs DO have a chance of carrying diseases. But the chances are pretty darn small - about 1 in 30,000. (Cite @ http://eggtutor.com/health-effects-of-eating-raw-eggs/)

If you really want to include eggs in your shakes AND keep you mom happy, pickup a container of liquid eggs (the ones in the milk carton). These are already pasteurized and have an even lower chance of disease (but not zero). They cost a little more than eggs in the shell, but if it will keep your mom from griping, don't you think it's worth it?

You'll just be a danger to society because of all the sick gains you're making.

For what it's worth, there is a risk of foodborne illness present when consuming raw food.

Some people have raw eggs without issues, although I prefer scrambling mine and having them as part of a nice breakfast dish.

That's not hard core enough, plus you'd be in danger of enjoying your food.

If it tastes good, spit it out !

I've been eating about 6 raw eggs every day for half a year now. If I get some deadly disease I'll let you know.
