It only takes ONE time in your life of getting food poisoning to stop gambling with ways that put you at any more risk regardless of the percentage point touted in an article.
It takes all of two minutes to cook eggs. Why do people make such a big deal of this? Get up earlier. [/quote]
I’ve gotten food poisoning twice in the past year. Once from a sushi booth, and once from undercooked turkey bacon. Man, when you’re puking that trash out, you never want to eat it again.
I’ve been doing a breakfast shake for 8 years now; although the recipes have changed, the eggs have always stayed raw- it makes it smoother.
Heres my latest recipe:
handful of frozen berries(blue&razz)
some raw spinach -it makes me feel good
1 cup milk
4 eggs (2 without yolks)
1/2 cup ground up oats
1 scoop vanilla whey
mmmmm… do it
My nutrition professor did her best to convince me to get off the raw eggs but in the end she caved in and told me the risk wasn’t too high.

Ah… That sounds effing disgusting. Happy imbibing.
Tastes just like a berriy smoothie really; The spinach thing kind of was an experiment and I found that as long as I don’t use too much, I can’t even taste it. Its a great breakfast for someone like me who doesn’t have a big appetite in the am and would rather sleep in then prepare anything remotely healthy. Try it without the oats and see if you still think its disgusting. Just use about a cup of frozen berries and then they’ll be all you taste.

I do something similar without the spinach or the oats or the eggs.
1 banana,
1 cup milk,
1 scoop whey,
handfull of blueberries.
and a scoop of hemp “protein” for fiber.
I didn’t notice you had the whey in there for some reason. I was thinking there wasn’t anything to sweeten it.
I used to drink raw eggs in high school (I thought it was cool… I still kinda do, actually). Anyway, I did research on it, and I found a couple things. First, there was a ton of conflicting research regarding the pros and cons of cooking eggs - too much for me to decide. Second, if you buy high quality eggs, the risks are almost zero. The chances of getting sick increase as the quality of eggs decreases (perhaps that’s obvious). If you want to eat raw, make sure to splurge on the higher quality eggs.
Or you could just hard boil a couple days worth of eggs, or get up earlier… those seem like more reasonable things to do. But, then again, drinking raw eggs is cool.
I believe that the the salmonella is on the outside of the egg… a result of shit from the chicken’s asshole tainting the shell. So just wash em. Even if you don’t it’s highly unlikely that a pathogen on the outside of the shell will get onto the part you eat. Still, it does happen, but it’s quite rare.
I’ve posted many posts about eating raw eggs. Your chances of getting salmonella are extremely low. In fact, only one in every 30,000 eggs is contaminated with salmonella. That means only 0.003 percent of eggs are infected.
I’ve been consuming them since I was 15, when I didn’t cook them.
Make sure you can cook them whenever you can though, so you don’t get bored.
I highly doubt you don’t have enough time to cook them though. It only takes 7-8 min to make scrambled eggs.
Eggs are great and all but if you don’t have time to cook them in the morning… Eat Something Else! You don’t have to eat breakfast foods just because it’s before noon.
BTW, did you mean to misspell your screen name? I hope your english teacher doesn’t see this site (8*0).

While the chance of gettingn sick is over blown it is real and you are gambling. One thing you can do is make sure to wash the heck out of the shell they say much of the chance comes from bacteria on the outside not so much the inside.
I agree on the wake earlier, cook the night prior, use pasturized egg, or heck a protein shake, etc.

…And he aint kiddin!!! I was in the hospital for 3 days and it was horrible!!
One thing you might want to look into though. Raw egg whites are high in a protein called Avidin, which strongly binds biotin (and a lot of it). I do not know if the pasteurization process used by most carton egg whites actually is sufficient to denature this protein (as I think the color of eggs turning white while cooking is the sign of protein denaturation). So, in short, if you eat a lot of raw eggs, expect a biotin deficiency.
