Boy, I'm probably going to get flamed for saying this since so many of you folks eat raw eggs.....but, please do some research. The body isn't able to totally digest all the possible proteins available in raw eggs whites. They need heated to a certain temperature to make them totally digestible. The eggs you buy from like Muscle Egg, International Eggs Whites, etc are pasteurized. They are heated enough to make all the proteins digestible. You are still getting good protein eating raw egg whites, but not everything that you could be getting.
