Re: gallstone attacks and raw eggs

[Guest guest]

I believe that the eggs are easily contaminated when they are

considered C Grade. That means that there are either cracks in the

shells or that the shells are too thin and may be porous (and able to

absorb germs).

Check your egg shells and don't eat any that are cracked or weak in

any way.

Many bakeries are allowed to buy C Grade eggs, but must only use them

for fully cooked items - not for things such as custards.

I agree that eggs can certainly bring on a gallstone attack and I really have to

laugh remembering back in '03 when I was doing my best to get my doctor to

release me from the hospital on my first GB/pancreatitis hospitalization I had

to prove I could eat and drink solids and hold it down. First liquid I

got......coffee. First solid food they gave me.....yep, scrambled eggs! Those

bastards! What were they thinking? RDs all over the place but not a CLUE as

to what real nutrition is. What a (tragic) joke!

I was lucky, however and didn't blow a gasket from the coffee or the eggs. I

sure wouldn't recommend it for anyone in crisis, and I went right back to a

super-bland diet for months post-hospitalization, but I'm living proof that

once

you get back on your feet and have all your other ducks in a row, YOU CAN

EAT ALL THE EGGS YOU WANT. In fact, they will keep your bile flowing and

your cholesterol healthy.

I don't know why the topic of Grade C eggs came up here, oh, yeah, people

who eat at Mcs, Appleby's Embers, Pukins, and like places get them,

as in most run-of-the-mill restaurants, but for REAL FOOD you want to seek

out fresh, free-range, organic eggs right off the farm. Go to Whole Foods,

your local coop or gourmet grocery store for them. The price difference is

irrelevant.

The eggs I get can be eaten raw without one smidgen of concern for any

pathogens or harm. You will run into some flack about raw egg whites tying

up biotin (Dr Mercola just this week sent out a missive about this) but I get

plenty of biotin from the liver and cultured milk products in my diet. I average

about 8-10 raw eggs a week in my smoothie blender drinks now that I'm

recovered and all healed up.

Best wishes and bon apetit to all,
