Amount and fate of egg protein escaping assimilation in the small intestine of humans.

Studies attempting to evaluate protein assimilation in humans have hitherto relied on either ileostomy subjects or intubation techniques. The availability of stable isotope-labeled protein allowed us to determine the amount and fate of dietary protein escaping digestion and absorption in the small intestine of healthy volunteers using noninvasive tracer techniques. Ten healthy volunteers were studied once after ingestion of a cooked test meal, consisting of 25 g of (13)C-, (15)N-, and (2)H-labeled egg protein, and once after ingestion of the same but raw meal. Amounts of 5.73% and 35.10% (P < 0.005) of cooked and raw test meal, respectively, escaped digestion and absorption in the small intestine. A significantly higher percentage of the malabsorbed raw egg protein was recovered in urine as fermentation metabolites. These results 1) confirm that substantial amounts of even easily digestible proteins may escape assimilation in healthy volunteers and 2) further support the hypothesis that the metabolic fate of protein in the colon is affected by the amount of protein made available.

Unless your imune system is fragile, I don't think one should be worried about it. There are a few things you can do to verify that the egg is healthy. I forget what they are, but look for cracks and smells.. even the floating test.. check mercola.com, full of resource about it, just do a search on eggs..
I'd also like to point out, I read Nelson Montana's Bodybuilding Truth, and the goodness of eggs are repeated a few times in there.. Good reading, recommended.

The eggs I buy out of the local Sainsbury's are specially heat treated to destroy any bacteria which may be on the shell, so the odds of me getting salmonella etc are next to zero.
I like to make an egg and milk shake as a source of protein once or twice a day. 2-3 raw eggs thoroughly mixed with about 3-400ml of semi skimmed milk and poured into a pint glass does the trick for me. I find it most palatale anyway and a really cheap quality protein shake. Some people like to mix yoghurt, honey or an over ripe banana with it for taste.
Alternatively, boiling half a dozen eggs or so, removing the shell, and carrying them into work in a small container to eat through out the day is also another useful and easy way to ensure your getting enough protein when time is tight.

Careful with raw eggs - you can buy the eggs in the carton which are pasteurized and have no risk of salmonella. Otherwise, hardboil them or scramble them!

Nice.........here is the simple version:
Your article is saying that the protein in raw eggs is less likely to be absorbed than for cooked eggs. Also, the raw egg protein was more likely to be fermented and passed into the urine.
Conclusion: cook your eggs.

I've eaten raw eggs my whole life. In cereal as a child and in shakes. I think the risk of illness form it is very low, but I do believe the science which seems to prove there is little nutrional merit in doing this.
Vanilla whey+orange juice+raw egg=home made orange julious

In your cereal? As a child? Were your parents trying to make sure that you started at noseguard in the NFL? That sounds strange man, no offense.
