Do you eat raw eggs? I do!!?

Question

is it healthy ? unhealthy? wat?

Answer 1

Fresh shell eggs may contain the bacteria Salmonella enteritidis that can cause foodborne illness. While the number of eggs affected is small, there have been scattered outbreaks in the past few years. Salmonella bacteria are usually in the yolk or yellow of the egg but they cannot rule out entirely the bacteria being present in the egg white. No individual should eat raw or undercooked egg yolks or whites or products containing them.
Do not eat raw eggs including ""health-food" milk shakes containing raw eggs, Ceasar salad, Hollandaise sauce, and any other foods like homemade mayonnaise, ice cream or eggnog where the eggs are not cooked.

Answer 2

I think the better question is: what's the point? There's an increased risk of food poisoning by consuming raw eggs and there's no nutritional benefit over them compared to having a boiled egg. I think it's okay to be having an egg a day.

Answer 3

I met a Persian fella and he ate raw eggs daily.
Said it was a custom for good health, He had a grand father that was 105 years old.
I fear the uncooked foods .
I bet this Persian family had other food habits to keep them healthy that we would never dream of.
Sometimes the combo is what works.

Answer 4

Do you know what the companies (not farms, companies) do to chickens to make them mass produce eggs? Then you eat them raw where at least some of the cooties aren't cooked out? Ick.

Answer 5

It's not a healthy thing to do. Uncooked eggs can make you sick.
