When I was a child our parents would make blended drinks with raw eggs in them for the protein and nutrients. Now there's the Salmonella risk of course. I'm not so much interested in what happened to the "good" eggs, but, rather, are there eggs you can still find/buy that are safe? And where does one get them? Thanks, David Wilson.

You can look for pasteurized eggs, which they sell at some grocery stores. They are more expensive but should be safe. They have been heated, but not enough to cook the egg.

Do not take the risk. Also, raw eggs contain avidin, which binds biotin so that it cannot be utilized. Biotin is a component of B complex vitamins and is essential for the body. Uncooked protein in raw eggs cannot be absorbed. So, raw eggs are not good for health as believed previously and should not be taken.

I have eaten eggs raw and half cooked all my life, I have never been struck with a case of salmonilla. Although now I have a few of my own laying hens before I used to get them from a local farm with free range chickens. I think if chickens are healthy and mobile and clean there is little to worry about. The eggs you buy in the store usually come from massive farms, and although there are gov't standards it is difficult to keep a barn with 100000 chickens clean.

Well according the most of the chefs on Food Network, try to find a local source for your eggs. Then wash them well before cracking. Most of the germs that make us sick are on the outside of the shells.

My mom did this too, wasn't it good? Hon, I HAD samonella recently which I believe I got from eating undercooked eggs at the "awful house". I was sooooo sick. Had to take antibiotics and to test for it- ugh, you don't want to know! Involved testing your own poo and tiny vials- gross. Not worth it, sorry.
