Ive been having a habit of putting about 7 egg whites in some soymilk and mostly water, blending it really well and then adding my protein. Only because it is faster than cooking them. Could i possibly get any bacteria from doing it this way? I just find it much faster if im in a hurry, and ive not had any problems with my stomach or anything doing it this way. It makes for a very creamy, frothy shake.

Re: Eggs-Cooked or Raw
I've heard the opposite. Eating egg whites in their raw state is better than cooked as the cooking denatures the protein - plus eating only whites requires additional biotin in the diet - which is usually found in high/sufficient amounts in the yoke. Therefore, supplementing with biotin is a must if you're eating a lot of egg whites - one of the best sources is liver. Hence, I consume liver tablets with my egg whites. I'll try to find the article/website for you.

Re: Eggs-Cooked or Raw
i always thought that its the outside of the shell that has the bacteria, not the actual egg? so I'd say just make sure you don't get any on the shell? And wash your hands....lol----------------------------------------------------------------

It's so hard for your body to breakdown a raw egg that it consumes almost all of the calotical value of the egg in just breaking it down
