boiled egg = 8 hours to digest
raw egg = 30 minutes
not much else to say

I start my day with half a pint of milk, two raw eggs and a sachet of vanilla flavoured Complan. Chuck them in a blender and then drink it down. It tastes delicious and I go to the gym on that. It also means I don't have to eat any solid foods until past 1pm which is when i start to feel hungry. I'm 62 and still wear the same waist 32inch pants I wore when I was 19, though without the Flares and platform shoes.

This is absurd. How many foxes do you see that are protein deficient?

*Well if we can't eat raw eggs we can drink them*

Gotta love how people take one little finding and try to draw conclusions about incredibly complex systems. Follow tradition and experience, not scientism.

Raw eggs are easier to digest by far and healthier. IMO

This video is claiming the inpossible. Adding such large amounts of heat would make eggs easier to absorb. The only way you could do something like that is if you left them in low heat or out in the sun for 20 mins. But the best way will always be raw. And I agree don't drink them cold.

One clip said eating a raw egg equals eating 4 ponds of red meat and this one says its in healthy, a person can get confused to point that they may doubt their own name if they listens or rely on media infos.

I've been working out for a while now and believe me eating eggs every day is quite a chore. Scrambled eggs taste bad to me. I have just started eating eggs raw and it's hell of a lot easier. Never thought I would like it.

This may be true but you actually destroy alot of the nutrients in the process of cooking the egg- you can easily obtain protein but it's not so easy to obtain many of the bioavailable nutrients contained in the egg in it's raw form. The benefits to consuming raw outweighs cooked in my opinion.

Insider: Makes video on why you shouldn’t eat raw eggs
Me: Then why u make the thumbnail a man eating RAW EGGS

[catzarekool]

God damn. Every time I do something and go on YouTube right after, these guys post a video saying how bad the thing I just did is. I just wanted to lick the batter, man.

Proteins denaturate at around 80 Degrees Celsius. When you cook or boil an egg, Temperatures go above that mark. So you are obviously loosing all of you protein in the egg. I don't eat raw eggs that often, but once a week I blend it in with something.

This is based on a research done which included only 5 people... Go for the raw eggs

[zeniktorres]

Been having raw eggs everyday for 60 years.

[Stardust-oxfh]

I'm pretty sure our ancestors were eating the eggs raw, before they were able to cook food.

[meowrx]

these reasons are stupid as hell... I will definitely eat a raw egg now "tech insider"

[joezze-bear]

The documentary “what the health” thought me one egg is equal to 3 cigarettes. I’ll stick to getting my protein from Tobacco thank you very much.
