Raw Eggs

The past couple of mornings I have been to lazy to cook my eggs so I just threw them in the blender and drank them. After taste is harsh but I was able to keep it down. Is it better to cook the eggs or not? More protien in raw eggs vs cooked?

I know eggs can have ecoli or salmonila if not stored properly.

Here's a great article titled, "Raw Eggs for Your Health -- Major Update" written by J. Mercola, D.O. back in November of 2002. It makes the case (with study citations) that raw eggs are actually HEALTHIER to eat than cooked eggs: http://www.mercola.com/2002/nov/13/eggs.htm

Here's the meat and potatoes for those worried about consuming raw eggs:

"When you carefully analyze the risk of contracting salmonella from raw eggs, you will find that it is actually quite low. A study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture earlier this year (Risk Analysis April 2002 22(2):203-18) showed that of the 69 billion eggs produced annually, only 2.3 million of them are contaminated with salmonella.
So simple math suggests that only 0.00003 percent of eggs are infected. The translation is that only one in every 30,000 eggs is contaminated with salmonella. "

Hell, Hulk Hogan had three damned raw eggs every morning and that dood is still alive... I think?

check out my thread at ASN with the same title.

Lemme tell ya that you do not ever want to get food poisoning, it is fucking miserable, spend two minutes and cook your eggs.
 
they can have it if they have it, the cookin or denaturation is what destroys the possiblity of you contractin it, id not take them raw.... salmonella is bad bro, and when you realize you have it, your prolly way to late
 
also, the denaturation of the eggs, straigtenin the protein is what makes them digestable, not cookin them your prolly not gettin as mcuh
 
if your too lazy to cook in the morning. Make them the night before and just throw them in the micro, dump on a little salsa and your good to go.. Or just boil up a bunch. I wouldnt eat raw eggs bro.
 
Yeah i figured it wasnt worth the risk so I cooked them this morning added a little salsa and down the hatch.

Just did not know if the nutritional value is better or not.
