HealthTip - Raw Eggs A glassful of raw eggs incites mixed reactions for many of us. It’s routine for some and revulsion for others. Commonly associated with bodybuilders and boxers (the Rocky scene) who want to bulk up, a lot of folks who ...fit neither category include them on a regular basis for simple nutritional reasons. Eggs in general are a nutritional (and wholly Primal!) powerhouse with impressive supplies of selenium, iodine, phosphorus, molybdenum, choline, lutein, vitamins A, B2, B5, B12, E, D and K. But what’s the specific draw to raw eggs? As for drawbacks, there’s the well-circulated salmonella risk, which isn’t the dire prospect it’s often made out to be. The risk has been estimated as 1 in 10,000 (CDC) or 1 in 30,000 (Risk Analysis journal). And though washing eggshells can reduce much of the risk, it doesn’t eliminate it entirely. Salmonella can be present in the yolk due to infection in the hen’s reproductive tissue. Drinking Raw Eggs can make you very, very sick. We have Hollywood and the “Rocky” movies to thank for this stupid idea. Just because something is disgusting doesn’t make it good for you. Cooking kills the salmonella bacteria which can make you very, very sick. Every year or two there are massive salmonella outbreaks and millions of eggs get recalled after hundreds get sick and some die. Guess how much progress you will make in your bodybuilding program if you are have explosive diarrhea and puke your guts out for two weeks? No progress at all! Get salmonella and you will be week as a kitten for a month and you will lose muscle mass as well. Be Careful ! Have a Nice Day !
