Raw Egg Whites........WELL?

[Clean]

For all the do`s and dont`s for now im gonna keep douing it and as for food poisoning ect I dont even remember having an upset stomach throughout my whole life I mean c`mon people have been doing this for years so I will carry on but as for the yolks F**K that shit...

As far as food poisoning goes, out of 69billion eggs, only 2.9 million will have that bacteria. So your chances of ever getting salmonella are slim to none. But don't think you can't get it.

Well I have never bought the ones in a carton always cracked open the egg and poured the white in to a glass I have done this for quite a few years and has never harmed me at all I usually do this in the morning as a way of gettin a few extra proteins in the morn and cannot stomach much when I first get up so I usually just add them to my protein shake.

I just add 7 egg whites/1 yolk into a bowl, wack in microwave = scrambled egg...cook my oats as normal then add all together and mix.

I have fallen in love with this and look foward to it every morning....

The yolk also usually has around 270 mg of Cholesterol in one.

Thats almost 70% of your daily value of cholesterol.

Plus the yolk is high in saturated fat.


It gives some an upset stomach also because it is so rich.

The egg yolk contains good cholesterol or HDL. HDL removes bad cholesterol from the bloodsteam. The yolk is by far the most nutritious part of the egg.

Then why does it say egg whites are heart healthy and normal eggs arent?

Too much cholesterol isnt good and thats a fact. I was saying it was a lot of cholesterol overall.

Read the post before you jump to conclusions.

Im not jumping to any conclusions, but when you posted the facts on cholesterol, you made it look like that was a bad thing. You didnt talk about the difference between good and bad cholesterol. I felt it necessary to point that out. Im just saying the egg yolk isnt bad for you. It does much more good than bad. People that think the yolk is bad for you have old information. There have been lots of recent studies that show how beneficial the yolk is. You can eat it or not, makes no difference to me.

Yes there are good cholesterols.

However, I feel egg whites are better for you.

The yolk has little saturated fat, and the cholesterol issue is blown out of proportion. If you eat alot of cholesterol in the diet your liver will produce less, and if you eat to little it will pump out more. Besides cholesterol is essential to hormone production, you know this. For us weight pounders it is not that smart to obsess over choplesterol intake. If you are truely concerned cut down sat and trans fat, they will kick up that cholesterol disregarding the livers controls.

Something for you to consider if you are going to consume raw egg whites and if you are not concerned with the health dangers (salmonella, e.coli) which are considerably higher in the UK due to the fact that the vast majority of store bought eggs are not refrigerated:

Advin, as has been mentioned, present in raw egg whites, prevents the uptake of Vitamin H (Biotin). Biotin is essential for the release of food energy and protein metabolism ... two things which a bodybuilder depends upon. It is also important in reducing a zinc deficiency.

A zinc deficiency can lead to an enlarged liver and spleen, anorexia, protein malnutrition, loss of hair, iron deficiency (anemia), male reproductive disorders and impaired wound healing.

If you are prepaired to accept all the health concerns and domino effects of eating raw egg whites then carry on but I, personally, don't see any benefits.

It's not like I like doing it. It's either that or the microwave. Microwaved eggs are made of foam. I'm in college. This summer I will never eat them raw, I will cook them.
