Salmonella is rare with raw fresh eggs and salmonella is a bacteria that a good healthy immune system has no real problems with ! In fact the enzymes from raw eggs themselves help to destroy the salmonella bacteria!

Of course Biotin deficiency is a problem. This plays directly into the entire cytokine/vaccination concept that's been studied for over fifty years. The Merck's still has a few things right~.

At any rate, the last thing I would ever be doing personally these days is to eat much of anything raw, let alone chicken eggs. The Bird Flu is largely the result of the overall climate changes, in my opinion, the effects that such have had on the foods those chickens are fed. Just a personal opinion.

Well I wish would make up his mind! But at any rate, man has been eating raw eggs since the beginning of his time on this planet! And I must say I think Mercola has gone over to the dark side listening to some mad scientist from Bayer pharmaceutical nazis organization or the other chicken %$^& advice from the establishment scare machine!
I suppose like you said if you where eating 10 raw eggs a day everyday for years it might be of concern, if so I would follow Mercolas advice and seperate some of the whites from the yolks but who would eat 10 raw eggs a day unless you where a dirt poor chicken farmer!


My primary new recommendation, and the one I now follow, is to separate the yolks from the whites so you can cook the whites and consume the yolks uncooked, or raw. The white can be cooked and eaten on its own. Although cooking the white reduces the nutrient quality and perhaps increases allergic sensitivities to some, the avidin in the egg white breaks down when cooked to 100 degrees Centigrade, therefore releasing the biotin back for your absorption and virtually eliminating any risk of biotin deficiency.
