Thanks for the reply. I always have raw eggs in a shake for breakfast and I never thought of eating the shells.

Toss them in. They do carry risk of course so buyer be warned. Free range shells have the best mineral profile. I wash my eggs first. Some people boil the shells and make a powder but I worry about leaching minerals so I wash them with soap, rinse and blend, never been an issue.
Supposedly the minerals in shells are highly bioavailable too and the shell membrane (slimy stuff between shell and “meat”) is made of chondroiten, collogen, hyaluronic acid and various proteins beneficial to joint health.
Rinse 'em and blend 'em.

I’m not worried about the salmonella from raw eggs but I’d definitely wash the shell. I get enough people telling me off for eating raw eggs as it is so I don’t think I’ll be telling anybody about eating the shells! Thanks for the info though, I’ll definitely read more into it.

Yep. Much of the salmonella risk comes from cross contamination anyways. The shell comes in to contact with the world and its contaminants. The liklihood of an egg containing salmonella is something like 1 in 20,000 or 30,000 or so and even then there isn’t enough to make you sick. When eggs sit out and warm up the bacteria levels grow dangerous. Buy a reputable brand within the fresh date from a reputable store and soap and you should be fine.
Not 100% of course but the odds of encountering an egg with salmonella are slim and an egg with dangerous levels nearly negligable. And what is a few days of diarrhea for a lifetime of consuming a nutritional powerhouse anyways? No pain, no gain right?

This was mindset when I started eating raw eggs in the first place. I haven’t been ill since I started so eating the shells can’t be bad at all.
The authors’ biographies state they’re scientists, but really they’re psychologists. Which means you shouldn’t believe them
LOL… with the raw egg discussion above, I’d forgotten this thread was about pork. Yeah psychologists are crazy anyway… 
From skimming the article it sounds like their problem with pork is mainly the high amounts of polyunsaturated (presumably omega 6) fat.
Buy a lean cut or trim the fat. /danger
Pork CAN be dangerous.
I also like the egg discussion. Talked bout pork for 5 posts and the rest about eggs. Personally i love pork. Lean tenderloin roasts from Costco

Basically the same thing.
I like a fried Egg on top of my pork chop…
