Tag: Egg white safety

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), eggs are a major source of Salmonella infections in the United States. Consuming too many raw egg whites, a practice sometimes seen in bodybuilding, can increase your risk of this foodborne illness and other health issues, including nutrient deficiencies.

The American Heart Association suggests two egg whites per day can be part of a balanced diet for many. The safe amount of egg whites depends on your dietary needs, activity level, and health goals.
