raw eggs

[Nockahate9]

I put 2 raw eggs in every protein shake I make, and I make 2 a day for a total of 4 eggs. I've heard you can get (salmonela, salmoneila) or whatever the fuck it is poisoning. Is this true.....I've been doing this for 6 months now and haven't got sick yet....

 

[Paladin]

yes it's entirely possible. The infection typically has an incubation period too.

 

[Suareezay]

chances of it are negligible, especially when youre using clean, unbroken eggs.

raw egg bioavailability is shit, though. cook em.

 

[Paladin]

All you need are eggs from a chicken who's infected and therefore it's stored inside the egg and any egg, broken or not, can contain it.

point being?

Pools containing eggs that were both cracked and dirty were more frequently contaminated with Salmonella than all other pools of eggs.

only using unbroken eggs is a pretty standard recommendation for avoiding shell egg related illness.

http://dhfs.wisconsin.gov/rl_DSL/Publications/98-014.htm

Never accept room temperature, cracked, or broken raw shell eggs.

Use only unbroken eggs. Discard broken eggs and avoid mixing the shell with the egg's contents.

so are you saying I should quit doing it

 

[Suareezay]

so are you saying I should quit doing it

4 eggs, cooked or not, constitutes a pretty insignificant percentage of most peoples protein intake. theyre not hurting you in any significant way, but its not really doing much to contribute either.

I personally wouldnt bother with adding eggs to a shake. If youre looking for more calories or protein, there are plenty of other ingredients to use (peanut butter, oats, oils, cottage cheese, wheat germ, etc). I would save my eggs for a time when i could cook them.

If you are die hard about eggs, then use pasteurized egg whites. I would not want to be getting sick from raw eggs even it is a 0.00000009 % chance.

From what I hear it can be a nasty sickness

My point is you didn't give knowledgeable advice until I replied to this. Above, you are implying your chances of getting it from raw, unbroken eggs is next to impossible and that broken eggs contain the majority of infections. This is absolutely false. You need to be more clear.

Of course broken eggs are more susceptible to infection, it's the same common sense that breathing in a virus is more likely to get you sick.

Eggs can also carry salmonella. Your chances of getting salmonella from raw eggs is 1 in 30,000.

Now take into consideration how many eggs are at the market, how many you eat each day, and how many eggs are circulating with salmonella. Your chances may be much higher than 1 in 30,000

but its not really doing much to contribute either.

I'd also like to make mention each egg is 6.25g(http://www.drlam.com/A3R_brief_in_doc_format/2003-No3-Eggs.cfm), and adding 4 eggs to your protein shake can potentially add 25g of protein. Quite a significant increase. I don't know where this other kid, Suareezay, gets his information.. but lighting alterations in his picture and post count isn't a grounds to take his words for absolute truth.

Edit: By the way, I think you need more Cow Bell!

 

[mattd46612]

I believe he's saying for some reason your only getting a portion of that 25g of protein.

ZOMG 25 GRAMS!?!?!?!?!?! wowsers thats soooo significant. thats an entire scoop of NITRO-TECH!!!!!! rawr!!!!!!

being Tupac isnt grounds to take this guys words for absolute truth.

and there are no lighting alterations in my post count. its 100% natural.

 

[Paladin]

You can go ahead and act like a little bitch, you are only further proving my point.

Thank you.

and there are no lighting alterations in my post count.

Oh, I'd really hope that there is no lighting alterations in your post count.. rofl

moving on, please stay on topic..

 

[mattd46612]

But what if one were to put 10 or 12 egg whites into the mix? thats starting to be a very significant number. I use to down 6 egg whites in my shake twice a day.

 

[Paladin]

I just read an article that described a biotin deficiency from eating only the egg whites. It's important to eat the yolk as it contains much of the vitamins.

btw professor

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

The true ileal digestibility of cooked and raw egg protein amounted to 90.9 ± 0.8 and 51.3 ± 9.8%, respectively.

so that 25g is closer to 13g.

soooooooo significant.

 

[Paladin]

Ok. Read the friggin' article please. This is the VERY FIRST paragraph.

Egg proteins contribute substantially to the daily nitrogen allowances in Western countries and are generally considered to be highly digestible. However, information is lacking on the true ileal digestibility of either raw or cooked egg protein. The recent availability of stable isotope-labeled egg protein allowed determination of the true ileal digestibility of egg protein by means of noninvasive tracer techniques. Five ileostomy patients were studied

For those who don't know what ileostomy is...

An ileostomy is a stoma that has been constructed by bringing the end of the small intestine (the ileum) out onto the surface of the skin. Intestinal waste passes out of the ileostomy and is collected in an external pouching system stuck to the skin.

.. according to Wiki.

And when Suareezay can understand those charts and graphs, or even the molecular structures, he is entitled to bicker.

biotin deficiency is caused by eating raw egg whites, which is completely irrelevant to yolks and vitamins.

 

[{R}a{G}e]

Throw some peanut butter into that shake ... mmm.

 

[Paladin]

You just proved my point. If you ate the egg yolks, too, you wouldn't get a biotin deficiency--so the yolks are completely relevant and so is the nutrition they contain. Now seriously, sit on your hands the next time you have a thought.
