Is it okay to eat raw eggs?

Answer by  missy85 (178)

Eating raw eggs is a gamble. Some people swear by it, but you would have better luck with drinking a protein drink meant for building muscle. It has the same benefits as eating raw eggs without that nasty risk of contracting Salmonella and possibly dying.

Raw eggs can contain harmful bacteria known as Salmonella. It is not harmful to eat small amounts of raw egg, but it is dangerous to do it often. Just cookthem.

Generally, yes. They should be washed in hot, soapy water and rinsed well. Alternatively, purchase pasteurized egg whites to avoid the risk and have the protein without the fats.

There is a possibility of getting salmonella poisoning but with today's technology the risks are low and salmonella can be treated. It is best if you buy free-range organic eggs.

Answer by  SashaDarkCloud (5764)

Well, you can do that but the problem is that you can get really serious illnesses like Ecoli and salmenella poisoning. Plus you want to put on healthy weight, try cooked meat. That will give you the protein that you will need to build muscle. Or if you want eggs make sunny side up for a healthy alternative.

Begin by washing the eggshell with soap and water. Dry the egg. Crack the egg neatly over a glass; do not allow the egg to touch the shell.

Don't eat raw eggs if you are young or very old or have any immune issues. Raw eggs often carry salmonella and you need a sturdy system to recover.
