Eggwhites

Any solid info on how the body digests liquid egg whites....Do we absorb all the protein when we drink them ??

Digestibility of Cooked and Raw Egg Protein in Humans as Assessed by Stable Isotope Techniques | The Journal of Nutrition | Oxford Academic

Protein assimilation is substantially lower in the raw form.

I think he may be referring to pasteurized liquid egg whites in cartons, not raw egg whites. Not sure if being pasteurized gives them the same absorption as cooked though.

I recently watched a documentary about human evolution in which they attributed part of our brain development to the ability to cook our food.... basically (at least in regards to protien) cooking your food makes everything more bioavailable
