I am no nutritional expert, not at all, so do not take what I say at face value, but I can recall, this topic being discussed on a weightlifting forum, that salmonella in raw eggs and raw meats is very rare (the amount needed to get you sick anyway), and that it will not easily make you sick if you slowly transition to eating those things raw, as your immune system will adapt to them.
They also talked about being able to eat more eggs raw, then cooked due to allergic reactions from too many cooked eggs.
They also strongly advised for organic animal products, just to be safe.
Though the thought of downing a raw egg seems a bit too... slimy... for me. |
