raw egg whites?

im making me a protein shake and it says to add 3 egg whites.... erm i thought if you ate raw egg you could get salmonella? :confused:

I wouldn't fancy it, though if it has the "red lion" approval on it, it should be ok.

Apparently one in every 20,000 Lion eggs has a chance of salmonella.

Raw egg whites are great for protein, but there's an inherent risk in all raw egg.

Can it not be cooked first anyway just be sure? I'm sure it will still blend up quite well :confused:

. Isn't whey protein best either way?

Killa_ken · 12 Sep 2006 at 17:01

It'll blend up fine but you'd lose half your protein and negate the point.

Just eat lots of steak, chicken and eggs each week, and supplement with protein shakes if required. The body shouldn't need any more protein than that.

go organic for a reduced risk, local for a fresher egg!

Ah right, didn't notice that part

. Where do you buy whey protien anyhow, or does it only come in those special bars/drinks?

I'd buy it online if I was buying, but you can buy at wholesalers (makro, etc) or at Holland & Barrett, etc.

It doesn't necessarily come with whey in it, you can get protein powder and protein powder with whey AFAIK

the blending would make it lose half its protein?
