"The problem is that cooking completely deactivates nearly every other protein in the egg white. While you will still obtain nutritional benefits from consuming cooked egg whites, from a nutritional perspective it would seem far better to consume them uncooked"

After reading for and against articles, i think I'll continue. Unless i get a dodgy one it hasn't done me any harm so far..

Apologies for dragging up an old thread.

I got salmonella from eating raw eggs some ten years ago (I was eating about 18 a day). I lost three stone (42 Lbs, 19 Kg) in two weeks from vomiting and diarrhea. The pain was very intense and it took me four weeks to fully recover.

I always cook my eggs now.
