You can drink it like milk, supposedly 26g protein to 8 oz, better availability than cooked egg protein - what do you think? I am going to look at their site www.eggwhitesint.com but I wanted to know if anyone has tried it? -------------- You only ever grow as a human being if youre outside your comfort zone. - Percy Cerutti

The egg white product is about 2.50 for the same 26g of protein. they claim that their product is superior because cooking denatures the protein in egg whites... I guess I will wait and see if anyone has tried this or knows anything about it, I would just consider it because you can drink it right out of the container - no cooking or seperating and it supposedly is higher quality protein...so for convenience would it be worth the extra money? -------------- You only ever grow as a human being if youre outside your comfort zone. - Percy Cerutti

Raw eggs cannot be digested as easily. If you overcook an egg and either burn it or make it so it can bounce higher than a superball, then you may have a problem with protein being denatured. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"
