Tynan, you've got an entertaining site here, but I gotta tell you bro', you are dead wrong when it comes to raw eggs.


Setting aside the salmonella issue for a moment (which is overstated generally), the majority of the protein in an egg, whether cooked or raw, is in the white, NOT the yolk. Yes, the yolk has the B vitamins -- but it contains very little protein.


Second, there is zero scientific evidence that suggests raw eggs are any healthier for you than cooked -- especially when it comes to protein absorption. In fact, the research suggests exactly the opposite: that raw eggs are 40% less bio-available than cooked eggs. Check the research -- it's there. It was published in 1997 in The Journal of Nutrition. Google it.


Now, I know you're a "raw foodist" -- so you'll probably just dismiss this study as a conspiracy among the mainstream medical establishment and "cooked food people", but until you can show me a study that says the opposite, let's try to deal with the reality based world.


Finally, you're right that most healthy people can deal with some salmonella. But you're not right about people with immuno-compromised bodies. They typically aren't immuno-compromised because they haven't been exposed to enough bacteria -- but because they have some kind of health condition that has hurt their immune system (like cancer, for example.) Suggesting that they should just eat more bacteria to get their immune systems back in shape is just dumb. In fact, if they took your advice it could kill them.


Stick to the pickup artist stuff and leave the diet, nutrition and health advice to people who know what the hell they are talking about.


Other than that, I get a kick out of your site. Especially the ghetto pool post.
