Guest guest Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 You get plenty of enzymes in your green smoothies.Yep, that's definitely true =) I guess I'm more worried about the heat changing the casein into a protein that's much harder to digest. I suspect it was the pasteurized cheese that I reacted so badly to last time I tried it, and I can't really judge my reactions well when on prednisone, so it's hard to tell if the raw really is better.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Here's what I found:Thanks so much for all the info! That's what I remember reading a while back, and I'm glad I remembered correctly. Raw egg white seems a little blech to me anyways though =) I guess if you fry an egg and leave the yolk runny you get the best of both worlds!

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 I eat them raw in smoothies. With the yogurt and some fruit and maybe a little honey or coconut oil. It's what I call my "protein shake"Subject: Re: Re: Yogurt and night sweatsTo: BTVC-SCD Date: Tuesday, May 4, 2010, 2:41 PM I'm curious how you eat your raw eggs. I've heard that raw eggs are good for you, but I'm at a loss for how to eat them and have them appeal to me.You could use raw eggs in mayo, or in that pecan satin recipe Marilyn just posted. I heard raw egg yolks were supposed to be healthy, but that you should never eat raw egg whites. Is this another crazy myth?

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Alyssa,When I was a little girl (many moons ago) I remember that my mother would make me an "egg nog" of orange juice and a raw egg beaten into it. I guess that's really an orange julius. But, the white never actually got completely beaten up, and here and there I would end up with something slimy and stringy in my mouth. Blech! I still shudder. But, I would have not problem putting it in the Vita Mix on a very low speed. I know there are raw foodists who just down 'em Rocky style. More shuddering. I'm not there yet. :)I'm glad you brought up the question of egg whites because I had forgotten some of the details.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I think the oft quoted phrase from the essenes is "let neither frost nor fire touch your food".Sounds like that's another quote from the apocryphal Essenes, written in the1930s by some Swiss guy who was preaching raw food and sprouted bread.There's absolutely no mention of this in any of the real ancient texts, just themake believe modern ones.
