Question : Brief Answer:
cooked eggs have more health benefits than drinking raw eggs.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Eating raw egg and milk is not harmful for you and not at all poisonous.
It has multiple health benefits and is a part of many body building regimes.

There is a protein found in raw egg white called Avidin ,which combines with biotin(a type of Vitamin B complex) and hinders its absorption.
This may cause Biotin deficiency,in the long run.

Raw and under cooked eggs may contain Salmonella,a harmful bacteria which cause food poisoning.

The body absorbs more first class protein when you eat cooked eggs so a cooked egg is more beneficial.

These are the reasons doctors advise for cooked eggs against drinking raw eggs.

Hope that I have answered your query.

Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.
