Re: Question about raw egg yolks and liver cleanse

I have never heard of this drink, although it sounds very healthy. I consume raw egg yolks daily for the biotin.

To answer your question:
Someone posted "you know I always heard that raw eggs deplete vitamins. especially b vitamins and biotin."Is this true?

Eating the raw egg yolk and the egg white together creates a biotin dificiency. You should eat the egg yolk separately.

There is probably some confusion out there because Dr. Mercola first stated always eat the egg yolk by itself. Then he said eat the egg yolk and egg white together. Then his final statement was to eat them separately.

Here is the last statement, that I am aware of, from Dr. Merccola.

one should never consume raw egg white alone without the yolks, as a component in them called avidin binds to the B-vitamin biotin, potentially creating a deficiency in your body. However, my position shifted Tweet
