Do you eat raw eggs? I eat lots of raw egg yolks, but I don’t eat the whites raw, here’s why… Eggs are an incredibly nutritious food for humans, I prefer corn and soy free eggs, and I eat the yolks raw… It’s just easier for me, and I prefer the taste that way for topping a burger or tossing into a smoothie… But I don’t eat raw egg whites, because they contain avidin, a compound that binds biotin… Biotin in a B-vitamin critical for a healthy metabolism = burning fat, and healthy hair, skin, and nails… It’s primarily found in animal foods like egg yolks and liver, though some plants foods contain biotin as well… But a protein in the egg white called avidin binds to biotin strongly and prevents it absorption… This means that if you eat raw egg white with egg yolk, or any other food that contains biotin, you won’t absorb the biotin… no bueno… If you cook your eggs, the avidin should be denatured…but as I said previously, I prefer raw egg yolks so I skip the white and throw in the compost, etc… I don’t worry about bacterial contamination on raw egg yolks because any problematic organisms are on the shell of the egg, and don’t touch the yolk… I’ve eaten THOUSANDS of raw eggs and never had a problem… Eggs are a great addition to your #animalbased diet of organ#animalbased@heartandsoilsupplements), meat, fruit, honey, and raw dairy… Welcome to #thermembering🏹
