Raw Eggs and Biotin Deficency

tkd post:

Raw eggs can give you biotin deficiency, as avidin in raw eggs restricts the availability of biotin. heating them up a little would destroy avidin.

Quote:
Biotin deficiency can cause:
# Hair loss (alopecia)
# Intestinal imbalances, including inflammatory bowel syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and chronic diarrhea
# Neuromuscular-related conditions, including seizures, ataxias (movements characterized by lack of muscle coordination), and hypotonias (posture and movement characterized by lack of muscle tone)
# Skin conditions, including cradle cap in infants and seborrheic dermatitis in adults

If you smell the eggs and they smell bad - get rid of them!
As said above a little nuking and the problem should be solved.

As for the biotin avidin issue, might want to select foods high in biotin.
The egg yolk has a high concentration of biotin. So eating egg whites with the yolk is a good thing for the avidin biotin problem.

Biotin-rich foods
Dry yeast contains 180 to 400 µg biotin per 100 g. Liver contains about 80 µg biotin, eggs 20 mg per 100 g. Musrooms, beans, meat, fish and bread contain less biotin. Milk, cheese, vegetables and fruit only contain a little biotin (<5 µg/100g). Boiling foods in water distroys up to 40% biotin.

Vince Gironda used to tell his guys to drink 30 raw organic eggs a day with 100 beef liver tablets and he said his guys looked like they were on cycles of steroids.
