eli5: why can’t we eat cookie dough because it’s got raw egg in it, but athletes eat straight raw egg and they’re fine?
In: 197
Here in Germany you can find pasteurized egg white to eat straight of the bottle for athletes and to make icing in the supermarket
Been watching a bit too much Rocky. A raw egg is old school and should be right up my alley. Protein’s been done better many times over however.
I’ve been doing it all my life. It’s fine but you should definitely only eat it fresh. Similar to how people drink fresh uncooked eggs as a hangover cure or work out thing. It’s fine but there is a small risk, you should only use fresh eggs that have been handled properly and you shouldn’t let it sit out at all.
Any athlete that eats raw eggs has been severely misinformed.
Eggs that are cooked have FAR more readily absorbable protein in them than raw eggs do, and they aren’t a risk for salmonella.
Raw eggs:
1. Poor digestibility
2. Less protein absorption
3. Risk of bacterial infection (Salmonella)
4. May block the absorption of protein

Same reason as the last time someone asked.
