Why is it your told not to eat cake mix because it has raw eggs. Yet people like body builders swallow whole raw eggs?
In: Biology
Salmonella, although in eggs it is very rare for it to cause a problem, however when making a cake mix you want your eggs at room temperature (gives your cake a better crumb structure among other things) and so it is more likely for salmonella bacteria to grow to dangerous levels. Most bodybuilders who consume raw egg generally consume it in something like a smoothie or straight from the fridge, which means the bacteria generally can’t grow to dangerous levels.
