My mom used to tell me that I will have worms in my stomach if I eat raw dough
but I did it anyway..just don't eat too much of it, or you will get sick..=)

The reason people still believe that eating raw cookie dough is bad for you is because of the raw eggs. It used to be that eggs carried just as much salmonella/bacteria that causes food poisoning as raw chicken does. But since they started pastuerizing eggs the chance of contracting something from them has gone down to almost 0. There is still a slight chance, but it is extremely slight.

Unless you are using fresh eggs that you got from a local farm, there should be no problem in eating raw cookie dough. I just find that it makes me sick if I eat more than a few bites lol way too sweet!

Nothing really. I think its just because it's something that's uncooked and it could settle wrong in your stomach if you eat to much. But that could happen eating to many baked cookies as well. :P just take it easy and dont eat the whole tube of cookie dough.

The raw egg can make you sick. Once you cook it, it can't harm you. But the raw egg can make you vomit, almost like food poisoning.

There isn't anything wrong with eating raw cookie dough. Raw egg does not make you sick like many are led to believe-which is also why many believe eating raw cookie dough is bad for you.

I'm really not sure. TONS of people do it and nothing happens. People are way too paranoid about raw eggs. I eat it. So do the millions of other people around the world! Lol

Everyone :D

Because of the raw eggs. The chance of getting sick is very very slim, but there is a chance.

I love eating raw cookie dough

its very unhealthy
and there is alot of bactaria on it that's removed when its cooked
thats why people cook food
so they dont get sick really easily
lol

Not one thing is wrong with eating raw cookie dough...People are way too paranoid about raw eggs...

Hope this helps...
