15 Myths about eggs you should stop believing

Raw eggs are healthier than boiled ones.

Some people eat raw eggs to grow muscles, improve their voice, or reduce stomach acid. The risk of getting salmonellosis is really low: only 1 egg out of 30,000 is usually infected. But a raw egg’s usefulness is rather overrated. Raw egg whites aren’t absorbed as well as cooked ones and biotin (vitamin B7) absorption can become blocked.Thermal treatment reduces a certain amount of useful substances such as potassium, phosphorus, vitamin A, and B5. It’s not recommended to eat raw eggs, but if you need them as an ingredient, choose those that were treated to destroy salmonella.
