Question:

Is it unhealthy to eat raw eggs?

I am semi body building & I eat them raw so that it doesn't denature the protein. I am eating 10 in the morning & 10 at night. what r my risks?


Answers:

There is some risk of salmonella poisoning from eating raw eggs. However, the risk really isn't that severe for people with healthy immune systems, which I imagine you have if you're body building. For the most part the warnings about salmonella are alarmist, but be careful and smart about it -- only eat eggs you're certain are fresh and have been properly refrigerated, if you start to get any cramping, diarrhea or nausea, keep well-hydrated and get to an E.R. if dehydration starts to set in.
