Is it safe and healthy to drink the contents of the egg?
Answers:
I wouldn't try it.
Not healthy (salmonella) and not safe (vomit-inducing).
Eggs contains the high biological value of protein. The raw albumin contains an anti digestive factor that interferes with digestion. Egg also has a compound called avadin, which react with biotin (Vitamin H) and make it unavailable. Both these factors get destroyed on heating. The common infection by eggs is by the salmonella group of organisms. If eggs are well cooked this danger is also prevented. There is no added advantage of eating raw eggs and in fact it is disadvantages to take raw eggs.
well i used to drink it with some milk it is supposed to be good for you but since samonella i stopped.
Well, eggs have been known to carry certain diseases.... so no.
All said though, the risk of a healthy adult contracting anything from a raw egg is very very low indeed.
Raw or undercooked eggs only pose a danger for those with weak immune systems or pregnant women or small kids.
Not really - especially if you are pregnant as you can get salmonella from them. Always make sure you cook them properly
Its gotta high Protein content... n grt for buildin mass... but high cholestrol levels... can cause an effective raise of body temperature... Also leadin to pimples... If consumed in high quantities.... 1 HALF boiled a day is a bettr healthier altenative!!!!
From my understanding, the salmonella bacteria is on the shell of the egg and the egg becomes contaminated when the shell is cracked and makes contact the the edible part.
My recommendation is to wash the shell of the egg before cracking and make sure that the shells of eggs you eat raw are intact before you crack them.
ever heard of salmonella?
