Somewhere I heard a rumour that avidin is only effective in raw eggs,
and by cooking the egg white through you destroy the anti-nutrients. I
believe there is even a recognised disease caused by eating excess raw
egg white?
I've always felt the same about eggs as I do about nuts- they are paleo
if you eat them in a paleo quantity. Which means I'm being highly
unpaleo lately, having up to 4 eggs several times a week.
