Are there any health benefits to eating raw eggs? I think they're tasty, and several people have told me it is good for you.

Eggs have lots of protein, vitamins and minerals. The whites have something in them that isn't good unless heated, avidin, I think.
This site claims it is healthy and only if eating a large amount of egg white alone will cause problems. Make sure that the eggs are good quality and fresh. Free range eggs may have more minerals and good fats. http://www.healingdaily.com/detoxification-diet/raw-eggs.htm

Raw whole eggs are a phenomenally inexpensive and incredible source of high-quality nutrients that many of us are deficient in, especially high-quality protein and fat.
Eggs generally are one of the most allergic foods that are eaten, but I believe this is because they are cooked. If one consumes the eggs in their raw state the incidence of egg allergy virtually disappears. Heating the egg protein actually changes its chemical shape, and the distortion can easily lead to allergies.
So, if you have not been able to tolerate eggs before you will want to consider eating them uncooked.
But when one discusses raw eggs, the typical reaction is a fear of salmonella.

There are no benefits that I know of eating eggs raw as opposed to cooked. Just be aware of the dangers of salmonella, but I'm sure you know that already.

No, there are no benefits to eating raw eggs.
There are some risks however. Salmonella isn't something you want to catch.
