You are very poorly informed. About 1 in 3 eggs contains salmonella.
Eating them raw is dangerous. A significantly more dangerous practice
than going for a ride.

Just curious how those bodybuilders ever managed...(this was a '70s
thing, right?).

In the 70's, the egg factories were smaller, and used less antibiotics.
Salmonella IN eggs was rare.

It still is.......

I've eaten literally hundreds of raw and runny yolked eggs in my life.
I'm 43. I've only had Salmonella once, and that was from a
damaged/cracked egg from my own birds!

My housemate gathered them that day. I did not realize the egg had been
cracked in the nest, not during the washing process.

It had undetected chicken fecal contamination and I should have been
paying better attention. When _I_ gather eggs, any damaged egg is
destroyed immediately by tossing out into the middle of the henyard to
smash on the ground.

I've NEVER gotten Salmonella from a raw commercial egg.

It's probably more rare now than it was in the 70's.

I bet my life on it nearly every day.

My new ER co-pay is $100.00 per visit. :-P

The idea that you take your life in your hands when you eat an egg
sunnyside up, is probably literally true. But trite. You take your life

COMMENT:

Statistics, please? People killed by salmonella each year (we'll
charitably assume ALL are caused by raw egg) vs. people killed in
autos? Hope the shock doesn't harm you.

Doc, you're talking to one of our (MFW's) most prolific, juvenile, trolls.

there you go.

About 15 or so year ago in the UK, a few people. This sold a lot of newspapers and
meant that getting a soft-boiled egg was impossible at a B&B I stayed at in 1990.

To put this in perspective, in the second half of 2002 there were six outbreak of notified
Salmonella illness, including 350 cases and 2 deaths. There have been suggestions that
Spanish eggs are involved, but this is not clear. Good practice includes discarding
cracked eggs, pasteurised eggs for light or uncooked courses, and normal kitchen
hygiene (to avoid cross-contamination).

This notes 1 in 290 cartons (six eggs) were positive for Salmonella. A lot less than 1 in 3.

Ah. Thank you. It's worth trying to teach the ignorant. Sometimes it's
even worth trying to teach the stupid. But trolls are another matter.

I have read that on the East Coast 1 in 10,000 eggs has salmonella, and that
it is usually the yolk that is contaminated. Eggs are safer on the West
Coast.

Is that still being done?

How about egg whites? They really have no taste at all, but they pack
a great wallop of protein...would it be okay/safe/wise to just gulp
them down like milk in the morning? Or must they be cooked? I'm
talking about those Egg Beaters and such, the liquid egg whites in a
little carton...I bought a bunch of 'em on sale but discover that I
have to be more of a chef than I care to be in order to actually enjoy
chewing them.

Is it all right to skip the cooking and just slurp them quickly down?

I was stationed in Shreveport, LA for 4 years and lived in Houston for 2. I
will never live in the South again. IMO, it sucks.

Houston sux.

The hill country does not...

I'm surprised you hated Shreveport!
The surrounding area is a hunters paradise.

I love the south.
No snow to shovel every winter!

I snipped your other [censored]. Sorry, you are dead wrong. You must be
reading literature by the egg manufacturers.

Says they, and of course you believe them because they have no ulterior
motives. Not to mention it's irrelavant to the rest of america who eat
rggs from the main producers, not from a family run store.

How stupid can you get? It's irrelevant. Gee, how many people die
(nobody mentioned only deaths) from salmonella eggs vs gunshot deaths?

Who is also occasionally right.

Quoted message said:

I don't know what the TV says, but I eat anywhere from 3 - 9 eggs a day

with the yolks as runny as I can get them and I am fine. I also eat 1
-
3 cans of tuna a day and I am fine.>

Says you, but you won't live long.
