Lol. Just about anything tastes good if you put raw cream on it! But if you did that every day, the calories would really add up!

My grandpa had a chicken farm and taught me how to tell if an egg is going bad: drop it in a glass of cool water. If it sits on the bottom of the glass, it's good. If it floats, it's turning bad. It's probably still not a problem to use the ones that start to float in cooking, but I'd toss the ones that float on top. BTW, eggs last a long time! I've had eggs in the fridge for two months that still sink in a glass of water. They probably have lost some of their nutrients, but still make a yummy batch of cookies.

Also, I'm with the guy who said why do you need an electronic whipper for eggs? Truth is that it's best not to blend milk at high speeds, it damages the cell structure...Raw milk is best for you, second best is non-homogonized milk because the cell structure is intact - even pasturized but not homogenized. When you buy raw or non homogenized milk, you don't want to take an electric whip to it - just use a whisk for a luscious frothy glass o' nog.

There is a clear discrepancy here between what has been said before about avidin in raw egg whites and possible biotin deficiency. Is someone else writing under the good doctor's name?

Hmmm, raw/pasterized eggnog is delightful! This morning, I had to add pasterized heavy cream since I don't have raw. However, as Luci would say: Yummy Scrummy!

Another way I like to consume raw eggs is to beat it in a tea cup along with a little bit of smoothie mix. It's quick, and ickless.

Gas from eating raw eggs. Well, I do know that if you change your diet, you're gonna get gas a little bit because your body is getting use to the change. Once you get use to the change, you'll stop gasing. And be sure that once after that you change to your old eating ways, the gas will come:) Maybe that is the reason.

What an exciting exhange! I am just reeling from a longtime vegan friend's intolerance to our (raw) meat eating and wondering if a friendship is worth continuing. Anyway, here's a fun link to a vacation video/audition video which we just uploaded to youTube. it is a bit of a spoof on the fear factor/reality shows, but it is also the way we eat. Notice the kids' complete acceptance of their father's lunch. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xExPx-4Q0FA

We were in FL and we found ourselves eating raw meat, eggs, some fruit and vegetables and cod liver oil. MY husband, whose skin tends to be sensitive to the sun, never burned once; and when the kids got a bit red, we just applied Neehm oil.

Adding a drop or two of liquid stevia turns this into a drink better than any milkshake I've ever had. Also after a good workout at the gym I'll also drop in an extra egg or two, and maybe add a scoop of Whey Protein Powder.

Whenever I see a simple recipe like this I always think of tons of additions to make it even more tasty and nutritious. Instead of milk I also use this same recipe with plain goat yogurt and add raw nuts and blueberries. This is my breakfast almost every morning - not only because I believe it to be so healthy but also because I can't get sick of it. It's so tasty!

As yummy as this sounds, I have a few concerns. Humans are the only species to drink another species milk. Humans are known for their, shall we say, less than rational behavior. Eggs, from what I understand contain the highest cholesterol of any food know to mankind (and, of course, womankind). This is information that I've gleaned over the years, and I'm still looking for the truth. I definitely don't want to exploit animals, but sometimes have this back and forth view - partly because that's all that's available many places. Some folks are just so jaded, they won't even think about it.

RAW EGG DESERT.....
I remember when my mom was not into making cookies she mixed a couple of egg yolks with powder sugar until it was creamy and foamy, she gave it to us to eat it as you would eat chocolate pudding

Dr. Mercola,

The lack of dates on your material has been a problem for me, just as for the person confused over egg whites and egg yolks. Perhaps you can add a post date on the articles and then we can be sure what is the latest information. Thanks.

I totally agree with this recipe. I grew up having raw egg shakes and absolutely loved them. And now 50+ years later I am still here and healthy.

I agree with those who said that their is alot of ignorance about fats, I found Dr. Mary Enig very helpful and have read 2 of her books.

It is only a question of time before the American Heart Association has to admit that cholesterol has nothing to do with heart attacks.I think the Lacet came out with something to that effect recently.

I live in Greece and raw cow's milk is hard to find but goats milk is easier is that the same nutritionally..??.I think the taste is VERY different.

Also I use mascobado brown sugar, will that have policosanol in it? The nutrient that is supposed to be good for atheriosclirosis and helps combat inflammation?

If you are concerned about the freshness of an egg, there is an easy way to determine if it is fresh enough to be safe to eat, as even if the container is dated, one never really knows how accurate the date.

Simply place the egg(s) in at least a quart of cool or room temp water. If an egg is fresh, it will stay on the bottom. If an egg is not fresh enough to be safe to eat, it will float to the surface. If it floats, please be sure to throw it out. ITS THAT EASY!

And, I agree with the reader that recommended washing the shell before cracking the egg. I suspect that many problems people blamed on an egg may have been due to contaminents on the unwashed egg or from consuming a bad egg. If you use this method to check for freshness, they will be washed as well :)

When I have purchased eggs from a grocer, there have been times that some of the eggs floated even though the date on the carton had not expired.
