Is there anything unhealthy about egg whites?

Answer 1

Perhaps. But you cant tell really if you dont ask your supplier. About the egg whites, I believe its all protein if not well mostly protein so I dont think its bad at all. And each egg whites has only 16 cals..

Answer 2

but i doubt your eggs are organic.

most products marked organic are basically the regular product with the organic label.

read up about that scam,   many companies are still doing it even after a few were caught using labels and not having organic.

eggs whites are cholesterol hazzards...  lay off of them.

you really do not know what goes on at any farm, organicially claimed or regular.

never presume what you are told is the truth.

i found out 90% of the time what i found out later was i was lied to.

organic costs too much for most companies...   so they have  labels made and packaging that  claims it's  organic.. what you are probably getting is the regular deal with just different packaging.

sorry,   stick with fruits and veggies.. it's bad enough the conditions animals have to go through to fertilize our fresh produce.

Answer 3

If you're vegetarian for ethical reasons, i would STRONGLY recommend free range eggs. Do a quick google search, or visit your closest chicken farm and you'll see what i mean.

Only the eggs that say free range and organic will do all of the three things you mention.

And no, egg whites are an excellent source of protein and is very low in calories. The yolk is loaded with cholesterol and fat, and should be avoided.

Answer 4

You are right regarding organic chicken eggs.There is nothing unhealthy about egg whites.On the contrary, people with heart problems are advised to eat only the egg whites. For more information,

Answer 5

Buying organic eggs means that chickens aren't given any drugs.

However, it is not guaranteed that they are given room to roam and roosters are not dumped in garbage cans shortly after their birth.

If you bought free range organic eggs then all of the following could be guaranteed:

A) chickens are kept in good conditions, room to roam

B) roosters are not dumped in garbage cans shortly after their birth

C) chickens aren't given any drugs

Also as far as i'm aware there's nothing unhealthy about egg whites unless you have particular health issues or you are elderly.

Hope i helped. :-)

            

Answer 6

Answer 7

egg white don't contain protein as much and as complete as egg yolk, but if you cook it right, it is harmless to you.

if you eat it raw or not quite done, there are still some anti-nutrient substance active in the egg white. these anti-nutrients can only be de-activated by adequate heating.

Answer 8

Organic mean chemical free, therefore, no drugs.  It is the egg yolk that has the cholesterol, not the white.  

Answer 9

I think it varies from producer to producer, try contacting the company you get your eggs from.

I would have thought the male chicks are killed in any type of egg production, otherwise, we would have lots of roosters roaming around.  They are useless and unprofitable to the egg industry so they will not be kept alive.
