Here's an article I found:


The Health Benefits of Raw Eggs By John Claydon D.Hom

The process of cooking eggs destroy the very goodness that our bodies so desperately need as the nature of proteins and fats is altered when exposed to heat. When cooked, the egg protein changes its chemical shape; it is often this process that can be the cause of allergies. Generally when eating raw eggs, any incidence of egg allergy will disappear.



Surprisingly, in spite of ‘bad press’ raw eggs, organic or at least from a known source of healthy free-range chickens, are an excellent health tonic. The regular consumption of raw eggs will do wonders for your overall health. Exceptionally easy to digest, raw eggs provide a wonderful boost to the immune system, and a completely balanced nutritional package. A good immune system is one of several things the body needs to overcome cancer.



Many people’s diets are deficient in high quality proteins and fats, and eggs are one the very best sources of these. Raw eggs have many benefits, they contain essential nutrients for the brain, nerves, glands and hormones, they are nutritionally balanced, and we highly recommend the addition of raw eggs to your nutritional programme. The sulphur amino acids help to keep you young, raw eggs also contain an abundance of other vital substances including protein, essential fatty acids along with niacin, riboflavin, biotin, choline, vitamins A, D and E, magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, manganese, iron, iodine, copper, zinc and sulphur. Egg yolks are one of the few foods that contain vitamin D.


Poisoning from salmonella has been exaggerated in the past. A study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2002 indicated that only 2.3 million, of the 69 billion eggs produced annually, are contaminated with salmonella. In other words 0.003% or 1 in every 30,000 eggs. The bulk of these come from battery chicken eggs and chickens kept in unhealthy conditions - only sick chickens lay salmonella contaminated eggs. If only healthy chicken eggs (organic and free range ideally) are consumed, then far less than one in 30,000 eggs are contaminated. Salmonella is a common micro-organism found almost everywhere, and is just as likely, or more likely, to proliferate on cooked food kept in the fridge. Infection is normally mild gastric symptoms, but in rare cases where the immune system is very low such in the elderly who have had much anti-biotic use, and the source is greatly contaminated, death can result. But such a person is highly lightly to contract one of many common micro-organisms and die from that. To give some perspective, in the highly unusual situation of contracting Salmonella, in a healthy person, an infection is nothing to worry about and is easily treated with high quality pro-biotics every half an hour until you feel better.

This did NOT keep me full very long. Reading through the different threads I decided to make it this way-

1 tbsp CO melted in 1 cup heated water
2 pkgs fruit punch crystal light
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder
lots of ice

It's taking me awhile to finish it. I'm full after only drinking half. I think the extra scoop of pp is helping. Maybe the difference in the amount of fat between the coconut milk and whipping cream makes a difference also????

Be careful. . .I have found that almond milk doesn't really last a long time. I'd say 2 weeks at the outside, and that's the kind in a box. If I make it myself, I try to use it up within about 4 days. I've had a box go bad in the fridge. . .I thought it would last a pretty long time, but I was wrong.

I made a very yummy,creamy version this morning:

1/2 cup chocolate almond milk
1/2 cup cold coffee
2-3T half & half
1 scoop whey protein powder
2 oz cream cheese
2 egg yolks (gonna try 3 tomorrow)
1 tsp white chocolate jello pudding mix
1/2 tsp royal dutch cocoa
splash of DaVinci's (I think I used hazelnut or vanilla this morning)

Seems kinda fussy now that I have it all typed out, but BOY was it delicious! I buzzed it in my blender and threw it in a screw-top travel coffee mug and took it to work. I left it in the fridge until I'd finished my mug of hot coffee. Then I just shook it up before I drank it. MMmmmmmm. . .

'Night, egg cream lovers!!

[OurLuvsFromAbove]

I just got starbucks cinamon dulce sugarfree syrup.

I can't wait to try it tomorrow! YAYYYYYYYYYYYY! WOOHOO!

[Moretta]

Very interesting article LisaM. Thanks for sharing.

I was thinking for a fuller and creamer egg cream how about 1/2 of Haas black skin Avocado in them. Has anybody tried it?

[chessie2m]

Thank you for the article....I did have my first ec an it was really good. It took me a while to not think about the raw egg...then I thought... I never think about raw egg when I am dipping my finger in the cookie dough...it did fill me for a while and I think I am going to try 1 for breakfast everyday for a week and see what that does on the scale. I have been losing very well lately. I am afraid to say that outloud..I do not want to jinx myself. I have been losing a little over a half pound a day. My diet has been very clean and I have been taking orovo, which I think has been really helping. I will let you know how the ec goes. Thanks.

OurLuvs--The London Broil sounds great and I am soooo jealous of the new syrup. The Cinn. Dolce is my favorite! Enjoy!

I tried the lemon jello version last night and added a little cream cheese. Amazing!

Jessie--do you mind if I ask what is the "orvo"? You progress is great, and super inspiring. Glad you like the egg creams.

You all are sharing some delicious-sounding recipes. I can't wait to try some of them. I'm off to make my morning egg cream.

Have a great day!

Good Morning.. no problem..I took this off there website...OROVO was created accidentally. While watching the “OPRAH” show on how to look “10 Years Younger in 10 Days” a world renowned Dermatologist recommended 10 “SuperFoods” that if eaten every day will help you look 10 Years younger in Only 10 Days. However, the 10 SuperFoods were EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE, rare, and difficult to eat on a daily basis. So the CEO of Orovo and his wife created an easy to use alternative by finding the worlds highest quality extracts of these 10 SuperFoods (Garlic Wheatgrass Soybeans-Lactobacillus acidophilus Alfalfa Flaxseed Buckwheat Cayenne pepper Barley Acai) and put them into convenient and affordable caplets. It carries the benefits of the SuperFoods and an added an antioxidant blend of Green Tea, DMAE, Idebenone, and alpha lipoic acid to spur tremendous and quick results. Given to us by Mother Nature, synthesized by modern science, Top 10 SuperFoods work congruously with the body allowing it to perform at its peak. You will feel better than ever before.
The person that created this pill originally tried it to look 10 years younger, she said after 3 weeks she lost 10 pounds.

Personally, I feel fantastic, I have alot of energy and the best part is I am having a regular bowel movement everyday. I started to get scared when I started reading on this topic. I was having a bowel movement once a week. Because of the low carb and lack of fiber. I read this is terrible for you and causes cancer among other things. It really scared me and I started looking for a supplement that is not full of carbs and will help me. My friend referred me to orovo and I am really happy with it. I will continue to take this the rest of my life, just for all the nutrients and vitamins it has. I mean how many times a year do you eat alpha sprouts??
Anyway if you have any questions on how to order, let me know. Thanks, and I hope this helps.

I have them very often with diet rootbeer and diet orange

[Ilpirata]

With Veggies.

So the eat your veggies thread reminded me to eat my veggies.

At lunch I started with about 1.5 cups of green beans with butter and splash of hot oil and sprinkle of parm.

THEN I had my diet rootbeer egg cream. OMG I am SO stuffed! But I got my veggies in too so its all good...

Did I mention I am STUFFED?

Normally I get hungry at this time of day. If anyone is still hungry when eating ec for brekky and lunch, I suggest adding some (SEPARATE LOL) Veggies to one of the ec meals for added bulk, fiber, vitamins, etc.
