Eggs are of
course a great source of protein. The perfect solution for a low fat breakfast
having only 75 calories and 5 gm of fat, they also contain iron, vitamins,
minerals, carotenoids and antioxidants (recent research at the University of
Alberta). They are a powerhouse for good health, an egg a day
keeps a doctor away…with new research it has been observed that an egg a day
does not result in high cholesterol levels or heart disease. (The 2010 Dietary
Guidelines Advisory Committee)
Can this nourishing food be harmful if eaten raw?
Foods
do not get more natural and healthy when eaten raw, there is no clinically
study proving that cooking the egg can destroy its protein content or nutritive
value.
Although
raw eggs can have the most disastrous effects; have you heard of salmonella and
Listeria poisoning. Salmonella most
commonly found in the egg yolk is a wicked bacterium responsible for food
poising. If you have a weak immune system consumption of raw eggs can be
lethal. Raw eggs also contribute to the cause of a biotin deficiency. Avidin a
protein present in raw eggs does not allow absorption of biotin.
Uncooked
eggs are a very bad idea unless they are from an organic source, which is still
not without its risks. Stepping away
from the light of science doesn't do much good as raw eggs taste awful and
slimy. Why gobble raw eggs when you can eat a yummy omelet with vegetables and
herbs.
Raw eggs are bad news!
A 20-year-old man in
Tunisia died after eating 28 raw eggs in a bet with friends. Fatnassi managed to
eat 28 raw eggs before he complained of severe stomach pains. He was
rushed to a nearby hospital. Fatnassi was pronounced dead on arrival. The official cause of
death has not been determined.
