I used to do this as well.....till I got salmonella. Recovered after 2 weeks but lost a LOT of weight.
And the eggs were fresh, free-range, not damaged, washed them, etc.
I've read up about it and apparently eating raw eggs strips biotin from your body, and makes it almsot impossible for your body to use/create biotin.
A side-effect of which is shedding of hair! Since biotin is very, very important for hair production and skin!
Tests were done on cats where they were fed raw eggs and chunks of their fur fell out leaving them all mangy looking and giving them unhealthy skin. When the raw eggs were taken out of the diet and they were supplemented with biotin to recover, their fur grew back healthily!
So to others, watch out with raw eggs if you dont want hair shedding and (reversible) hair thinning!!!
all fucking bullshit ,, and this his why ? paleo keto raw ,, rule ,,
You may be thinking, "Raw eggs?! What? What about salmonella poisoning?"
Eggs have also gotten a bad (and untrue) reputation of raising cholesterol levels, whereas uncooked eggs have to deal with the unjustified, salmonella reputation.
I will clarify those two myths, but first let me explain the connection between eggs and glutathione!
Uncooked egg whites are one of only two sources that contain beta-lactoglobulin and serum albumin.
Beta-lactoglobulin and serum albumin are proteins that contain a unique bond of two glutathione precursors: glutamyl (a form of glutamic acid) and cysteine. This unique bond is called glutamyl-cysteine
So, glutamyl-cysteine is two of the three glutathione precursors put together.
In other words, glutamyl-cysteine is 2/3 of a glutathione molecule! (The other 1/3 is glycine which is easily made in the body and abundantly found in the foods we eat.)
There are only two kinds of proteins available in our food that have beta-lactoglobulin and serum albumin. They are undenatured (intact, whole, unheated) whey proteins and raw egg white proteins.
The egg white has to be raw and not scrambled or mixed (like in a shake) because when you heat or cook or mix, the very delicate proteins, beta-lactoglobulin and serum albumin, WILL be destroyed!
So you take an egg and you crack it open in a glass and you drink up! Cheers!
What about higher cholesterol?
Actually, raw eggs have good cholesterol! This is why eggs are considered food for the brain. Did you know up to 20% of our brains are composed of cholesterol? It is partly because of the cholesterol in meat and eggs that humans are an intelligent species. Also, vitamin D and sex hormones are also constructed of cholesterol. (Believe it or not, too low cholesterol contributes to low sex drive.)
Furthermore, 2/3 of cholesterol in the body is produced by the liver. The amount of cholesterol consumed in the diet does NOT relate to the amount of cholesterol deposited in our arteries.(1)
Studies have already shown how the cholesterol in eggs does NOT raise the cholesterol level in our body.
Finally, eggs contain lecithin. Lecithin metabolizes fat and dramatically inhibits the absorption of cholesterol!
What about Salmonella Poisoning?
Salmonella poisoning is not the scary thing it has been made out to be for three very specific reasons:
One-
Although salmonella poisoning is a serious infection, it poses little risk to healthy people. In healthy individuals, salmonella poisoning is actually self-limiting, meaning it has a set course and it dies off in a matter of hours without any intervention needed.
You may get diarrhea and feel nauseous, but it will pass quickly. You can speed up the healing by taking a pro-biotic (beneficial bacteria) supplement every half hour or even eating fermented foods, which are packed with beneficial bacteria.
Two-
Thankfully, the chances of you even getting salmonella in the first place are VERY low ,, one out of 50000 ,, like eating anywhere,,
How low?
A study done in 2002 revealed that only ONE EGG out of 30,000 eggs is contaminated with salmonella.(2)
The study, done by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, revealed that out of the 69 BILLION eggs produced annually, only 2.3 million had salmonella. (1 egg out of 30 THOUSAND)
and finally, Three-
If you want to reduce the chances of getting an infected egg to practically zero, purchase only cage-free, organically-fed, high-quality eggs from healthy chickens who are allowed to roam outside in the sunlight (chickens LOVE the sun) and eat bugs and worms! Healthy chickens DO NOT lay sick eggs, only sick chickens lay salmonella infected eggs.
Whole raw eggs contain MANY nutrients (more so than cooked eggs as heating destroys many nutrients).
I already shared, at the beginning of this page, how eggs containing glutamyl-cysteine, a bond of two of the three glutathione precursors. - (ONLY available when raw, though!)
On top of that, whole eggs contain many minerals and vitamins including, iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium, molybdenum, choline, biotin, manganese, zinc, selenium, sulphur, copper, riboflavin, niacin, iodine, lutein, phosphorous, trytophan, and Vitamins A, B2, B5, B6, B12, D, E, and K.
Egg yolks are one of the rare foods that have vitamin D.
Eggs also have proteins (5.5 GRAMS OF PROTEIN), essential fatty acids, sulphur amino acids (anti-aging), lecithin (processes fats and cholesterol) and Omega 3 Fatty Acids.
The protein in is fully absorbed by the body!
Some say eating raw egg whites can lead to a biotin deficiency. Yes, it can, BUT, interestingly, raw egg yolks are abundant in biotin. Our Creator is not an idiot
NOTE: allergies to eggs are really only to cooked eggs, not RAW eggs
Everyone should incorporate raw eggs into their diet for all the reasons mentioned above. In fact, three whole raw eggs make a very high protein and highly nutrient dense complete meal.
MaxGXL is proven to raise one's glutathione levels by almost 300% in two months.
So please consider eating raw eggs for the myriad of endless benefits and supplementing your diet with a powerful glutathione accelerator
