Then just slow cook the egg whites (in a frying pan on the lowest heat/fire), and add the yolks at the last moment when the heat is off, only warming them up. That would taste equally raw (the yolk). So I'm assuming slow cooking also oxidizes the cholesterol... Guess I'll just forget about all this...

I still do. But I've found I also enjoy slow cooked sometimes, so I'm willing to know how healthy it is.

I've lately been eating slow cooked egg yolks. It takes about 3 hours for them to get cooked (inside shell), at 60º-70º I guess.
Will this also oxidize cholesterol? Assuming I'm eating them right at the moment I unshell the eggs.

modern research has found that (oxidized) dietary cholesterol doesn't raise your blood cholesterol levels that much (What does the most is eating in excess) Thats is not the point, because that only represents oxysterols relative to total good cholesterol, and high cholesterol by itself may not be ...

Damn... I knew it. It was too tasty to be healthy
Anyway I think it won't be bad consumed in moderation, since modern research has found that (oxidized) dietary cholesterol doesn't raise your blood cholesterol levels that much (What does the most is eating in excess). Do you agree with this RRM?

This is one of the best foods I've ever tasted. Tastes so much like cake! :D I use 1 egg yolk for each banana. But you can use whatever ratio you like. Make sure the bananas are good quality and not too ripe, for better taste. I guess drying at 60ºC won't oxidize the cholesterol of the yolks, I have...

There is evidence that elevated carotenoids increases lung cancer risk in smokers. Blumberg J et al , Omenn GS et al , Goodman GE et al Maybe there is also an increased risk when exposed to exhaust fumes. Yep, also read that on wikipedia. Fortunately I'm not a smoker, and get very few times into sm...

ok, I tried your method (now that I understand it) and it works, although after I drain the whites, there is still a bit of white sticking to the yolk, so I rinse off my empty hand, and then move the yolk onto it, rinse my right hand (which is now empty) and repeat until the white is gone. I'm also...

I've google it, it's not. It's just the carotenoids that accumulate on the skin, giving it the color. You can safely consume up to 80kIU a day.

For the last 2 months I've been ingesting large amounts of carotenes (not retinols). About 30k IU a day. First from dried goji berries, then from juice with added vitamins, and now from organic carrots that I dry myself at home (the healthiest way imo.) My skin has become in a great yellow/orange co...

I'm still unable to understand your method Mario91. In the first step, you crack the egg with your left hand. Does this cracking cause the egg to break in half evenly? My eggs don't do that. Ofc not, I'm not a magician. I crack the egg with my left hand, and this makes a little crack, enough to put...

Maybe I don't have any problems because I never touch the egg yolk contents? I do touch the egg yolk, but the contents is protected inside the bag. Once I get rid of the white, I drain the contents without touching it, and then throw the sac. I used to do it exactly that way, and still had cramps. ...

Sounds like it would require a bit of dexterity. I feel like the egg would slip out of the palm of my right hand when I drop it from the shell. I usually roll the yolk back and forth between my hands in order to get rid of the whites, and then suck the yolk straight out of the bag in my hand, so I'...

Also, if you are getting enough vitamins, wouldn't having too much potassium, for example, still be a problem? I remember eating a lot of bananas a while back because of inconvenience and cost, but I felt it was causing problems, so I stopped. Nope, I never felt anything wrong with the bananas. Onl...

Ok, so the simplest way to reduce bacteria for someone who isn't *too* concerned but wouldn't mind reducing it, would be to wash the outsides first. I've sometimes noticed what I assume is poo on the outside of the shell, which can gross me out. Sorry, but this thread will never end. I've just foun...
