Eggs or Raw Eggs

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) considers it safe to use raw eggs if they are pasteurized. Bottom Line: Raw eggs may contain a type of pathogenic bacteria called Salmonella, which can cause food poisoning. However, the risk of an egg being contaminated is quite low.

Eggs are a rich natural source of healthy cholesterol. It is not true that fats in eggs are bad for your health. Studies have found that the cholesterol in eggs do not cause a rise in your serum cholesterol levels. It also does not cause higher blood pressure. In fact, cholesterol from eggs act as hormone precursors, used as building blocks to make more testosterone. Eggs are also an excellent source of protein since eggs contain all the essential amino acids.

It is best to eat your eggs raw. Heating will break down and destroy some of the nutrients. Old school bodybuilding legend “The Iron Guru”, Vince Gironda (Arnolds trainer among many others), was a big fan of consuming raw eggs.
