Denaturing of Egg Protein and Nutritional Value

My father who is a food scientist ( from http://www.ifr.ac.uk. ) informs me that raw and cooked eggs have the same nutritional value.

Once again, thanks for the advice. I have one more query though, I was thinking that if you nuke eggs, won't it destroy the proteins and enzymes in the egg? I thought that enzymes and such when exposed to certain temperatures are denatured?

I hope this helps you.
microwave and denaturing
Read through all of the questions and answers. I thought it interesting.

I do eat pinapple and papya when I've been stressed out to increase my stomach's digestive enzymes. They make great meat tenderizers!! I have taken tablets of such enzymes with my meals when overly stressed. But I don't take them because the protein has been denatured. I take them to augment my own digestive juices to break down the proteins.
