Anybody eat raw eggs?
The steak thread about cooking and rawness has piqued my interest in raw eggs. There are many camps on both sides, some say that raw eggs are beneficial...your immune system was evolved in a time where your body needed the pressure of certain bacteria or threats...but mainly that denaturing protein in cooking eggs destroys some of the food value or important substances that are beneficial.
The other side says that not all the protein is available for digestion in raw eggs and that the danger of salmonella infection is too great. But the stats show that salmonella infections affect like 1 in every 80,000 eggs so you'd have to eat 80,000 eggs to get sick.
Does anybody eat raw eggs here?
