Let me understand this. Your first argument is that because something has been done for “thousands of years” it has to be valuable. Your second argument is that I didn’t read any studies about this, despite posting a link to a relevant one, while you have none. Your third argument, if we may call it that, is attacking me.

I’ll leave it to readers whose position is more valuable.

Do yourself a favour, STFU until you finish high school. If you manage to.

People have been eating raw eggs for thousands of years. Do you honestly think Rocky started it? Do yourself a favor and read few articles on suppversity.com so you can see some examples of responsible and logical health/science writing. Your lazy writing should embarrass you. Did you even read ONE actual study? Or are you just blindly regurgitating what other people say, except with less eloquence and useful information? Tell me, how are you not ashamed of yourself to base your “health” article around the idea that we shouldn’t do what Rocky does? Do you actually know anything about eggs and/or cholesterol? Give me one reason to not think you’re a total hack.

When I was In middle school, my chemistry teacher thought me this, she quoted the tragic “tradition” among some mothers to pour raw eggs on their children chocolate milk thinking that made it more nutritious.

I have found an eggs white & beans taco to be a nice round breakfast.

In reply to Jess. Even if it was the healthiest thing to do in the world, I doubt that could drink something that basically looks like yellow slime ;)

Raw eggs

Cons:
– Yuck
– Avidin screws vitamin absorbtion
– Salmonella
– More difficult to digest

Pros:
– Some boscientists swear upon them for no specified reason
– Some hormonal teenagers think they’re ubercool so eating/drinking them makes you ubermanly
– During the cooking process some of the fat gets oxidized

Hmmm, hard choice
