I have limited funds, so raw eggs from the commissary are the cheapest way to get the nutritional value I need. They are only .88 cents for a dozen extra large eggs. There is a lot of debate on the subject of advantages. Most arguments say that eating them raw will cause a biotin deficiency. However this is untrue. Eggs contain quite a bit of biotin and avidin. The avidin binds biotin. There is not enough avidin to bind all the biotin that exists in the eggs. Cooking the eggs deactivates avidin, but it also deactivates every other protein in the egg white. I would much rather get a little bit of biotin and a lot of protein than quite the opposite.
Hope this clarifies that =). My only concern has always been salmanella. That concern is dwindling the more I learn and now after hearing from pritchard. Thanks pritchard :big_smile:.

Almost forgot to mention. I also eat both cooked and raw. So the chances of me having a biotin deficiency is slim. Later! :big_smile:

What is the advantage of a raw egg vs cooked? They do have pasteurized raw eggs that you can purchase now.

I'm definitely going to keep doing it. Great in the shakes and from what I've seen they have a lot of nutritional value. Also, I'm thinking of removing some of the "Heavy Cream" and replacing it with cottage cheese. Any thoughts on that?

I eat my eggs raw currently in a homemade MRP. This was mentioned in a article I read through my research about sal manella. "The likelihood of your finding an infected egg is about 0.005% (five one-thousandths of a percent)." How true is this? Anyone here eat raw eggs? And have any of you ever had sal manella poisoning? I'm posting this to get more research on the subject. Most of what I read provides different methods of being sure the egg is not infected.
I've been eating raw eggs for years and have yet to run into one yet, but worry that I may someday. Although many articles also mention healthy individuals are not usually affected by sal manella as harsh. Some have mentioned the affects to be no more than an hour to a day of diaria on a healthy active individual.
Any info on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

if you get good quality eggs, then the chance is even more minimal, i wouldnt worry about it, i've never known anyone to get it... apart form my mum, but that was from a dodgy chinese takeaway.
