Hard Boiled Eggs Vs Raw Eggs

[The_Nyne]

I was just thinking, is there a difference to one nutritionally? Aside from taste and all that is one more healthy to eat as opposed to the other? I heard salmonella(spelling?) poisoning was actually a very rare thing, so I was wondering which would be better.

much more protein in a raw egg than in a scrambled or hard boiled egg.

I know for a fact, I wouldn't be able to eat an egg raw...thats just me

Raw eggs can taste great. I've never had one alone, but a raw egg, milk, and splenda is basically how you make egg nog. Add some vanilla extract, and you have yourself an amazing treat that's completely healthy. Raw eggs should not scare you.

I'll getcha back tomorrow...on recharge

[The_Nyne]

Alright thanks, I was curious. How many should you drink at once? 2 sound good?

Define "Much More"

At most its a 2-3g difference.

i do 4 in a glass at a time
upto 12 a day raw whole eggs.

if your gonna do the whites alone..make sure to take something like a B-50 complex with it. or else your just wasting time/effort and protien.

No, I plan to eat yolks seeing as they're the most vitamin dense part of the egg.

Thanks too btw.

Dont hate.

wutchu talkin bout Willis?

just making sure.

thanks i will be qouting this in the X-fator thread...
awesome find!

reppped.

ok repped on my recharge..i have expended myine for the day.

I thought the protein in raw eggs was less bioavailable then cooked eggs? I remember reading that in a post here....

only if you dont eat the yolk is it less BV

False... devilzfan300 is correct, the way cooking changes the protein structure of the egg makes it more available to digest by the body.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_(food) although I've seen it mentioned in numerous articles on bb.com.

From http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/content/full/128/10/1716:

In summary, using the 15N-dilution technique we 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.

I really hate this raw egg bit everyone is on latley. If you'd take a microbiology class you'd know that salmonella isn't the only bacteria to worry about when eating any kind of meat product raw/undercooked.

If you really want to utilize all the protein from a meal just get a can of tuna.

You'd also know that the only bacteria you have to worry about is on the outside of the egg and not inside~

Its easy to sterilize an egg.

maybe he was talkin 'bout dinosaur eggs??

yeah, by cooking it.

nutritional info for raw (white only)
http://www.calorieking.com/foods/cal...JhdyBlZ2c.html

nutritional info for hardboiled (white only):
http://www.calorieking.com/foods/cal...xlZCBlZ2c.html

the difference between the two is .2g of protein per egg. i think ill cook my whites, i dont trust eating raw.

just to add onto the worthlessness of eating raw eggs

Shigella is a common bacteria found in raw eggs. here is some info on the bacteria:

"Most who are infected with Shigella develop diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps starting a day or two after they are exposed to the bacterium. The diarrhea is often bloody. Shigellosis usually resolves in 5 to 7 days. In some persons, especially young children and the elderly, the diarrhea can be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. A severe infection with high fever may also be associated with seizures in children less than 2 years old. Some persons who are infected may have no symptoms at all, but may still pass the Shigella bacteria to others."

"Persons with diarrhea usually recover completely, although it may be several months before their bowel habits are entirely normal. About 3% of persons who are infected with one type of Shigella, Shigella flexneri, will later develop pains in their joints, irritation of the eyes, and painful urination. This is called Reiter's syndrome. It can last for months or years, and can lead to chronic arthritis which is difficult to treat. Reiter's syndrome is caused by a reaction to Shigella infection that happens only in people who are genetically predisposed to it."

"Once someone has had shigellosis, they are not likely to get infected with that specific type again for at least several years. However, they can still get infected with other types of Shigella."

I personally buy eggs in cartons of 60. I'll spend 2 minutes (before throwing them in the fridge) using a clorox bleach wipe to wipe the eggs down.

My raw eggs are sterile and I have zero concern about bacteria.

I just dont like the way cooked eggs taste and how filling they are. I know its wierd.

i dont understand how a clorox bleach wipe disinfects the interior of the egg? this is where the bacteria grows.

Where the hell did you read that?

Bacteria grows on the outside of the egg.

[p0opstlnksal0t]

a quick google search would yield this info bro. i dont have time to look it up right now, but alot of the harmful bacteria spawns from the yolk. ie: salmonella, shigella, etc...

lol you're hanging out on bb.com but you don't have time to do a google search??

besides the fact that you only named the two strains of bacteria already named in this thread, it doesn't sound like you know what you're talking about.

the purpose of the amniotic sac (may be incorrect terminology) or thin membrane intimately attached to the inside of the shell is to protect the contents and keep bacteria out. if this membrane is compromised, the egg would go rotten - fast.

why would the bacteria originate in the yolk? if the yolk were overrun with bacteria, you'd never get a chick.

in fact, let me search google, give me 5 minutes...

i'm also reading this at multiple sites:

Why Should Eggs Be Refrigerated?
Temperature fluctuation is critical to safety. With the concern about Salmonella, eggs gathered from laying hens should be refrigerated as soon as possible. After eggs are refrigerated, they need to stay that way. A cold egg left out at room temperature can sweat, facilitating the growth of bacteria. Refrigerated eggs should not be left out more than 2 hours.

Should You Wash Eggs?
No. When the egg is laid, a protective coating is put on the outside by the hen. At the plant, government regulations require that USDA-graded eggs be carefully washed and sanitized using special detergent. Then the egg is coated with a tasteless, natural mineral oil to protect it.

http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets...Eggs/index.asp

allowing eggs to sweat (visible condensation on the outside) or washing them compromises the protective membrane.

you may want to wait until just before you eat them to wash those eggs Dave P.

I also found a few studies examining egg yolks preventing bacteria from adhering to cells.

BTW, I don't prefer raw eggs to cooked... " just sayin' "
