[00:00:00]Raw eggs versus cooked eggs. What really happens inside your body? You crack open an egg and drink it raw. Some people swear it builds muscle faster. Others say it's dangerous. But what actually happens inside your body when you eat a raw egg compared to a cooked egg? Today, we're entering the human body [music] to watch eggs transform into energy, muscle, hormones, and brain fuel. And discover which version is truly better for your health.

[00:00:22]>> [music] >> The moment an egg enters your mouth, digestion begins instantly. Your saliva starts breaking down small nutrients while the stomach prepares for one of nature's most nutrient-dense [music] foods. Inside every egg are powerful proteins, healthy fats, vitamins, iron, choline, and amino acids your body uses to repair muscles, support the brain, [music] and produce hormones. But raw eggs and cooked eggs behave very differently once they enter the body.

[00:00:43]Raw eggs. [music] When you drink a raw egg, the protein stay tightly folded in their natural structure. Your stomach acid and digestive enzymes struggle harder [music] to break them apart. That means your body absorbs less protein from raw eggs. Raw eggs also contain a protein called avidin, which can bind to biotin, [music] an important vitamin used for healthy skin, hair, nerves, and energy production.

[00:01:04]>> [music] >> And there's another risk, bacteria. A contaminated raw egg can carry salmonella, a dangerous bacteria that may cause vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and severe stomach cramps.

[00:01:13]>> [music] >> Even though infections are uncommon, the risk still exists whenever eggs are eaten uncooked.

[00:01:17]>> [music] >> But raw eggs still provide nutrients.

[00:01:20]They contain omega fats, vitamin B12, selenium, and natural cholesterol that the body uses to build cell membranes [music] and hormones like testosterone and estrogen. Cooked eggs. Now, watch what happens when the egg is cooked.

[00:01:31][music] Heat unfolds the egg proteins in a process called denaturation, making them far easier for your digestive system to absorb. Cooked eggs [music] provide significantly more usable protein to your muscles and organs compared to raw eggs.

[00:01:42]>> [music] >> Cooking also destroys harmful bacteria, making the egg much safer to eat.

[00:01:47]Inside your body, the amino acids from cooked eggs travel through the bloodstream to rebuild tissues, repair muscle fibers, strengthen [music] the immune system, and help produce neurotransmitters in the brain. The yolk delivers choline, a nutrient critical for memory, >> [music] >> focus, and nerve communication.

[00:02:01]Meanwhile, lutein and zeaxanthin travel to the eyes, [music] helping protect vision from long-term damage. So, which is better? For safety, digestion, [music] and maximum protein absorption, cooked eggs clearly win. Raw eggs may look intense in [music] movies and gym videos, but scientifically, cooked eggs give your body more usable nutrition with [music] fewer health risks. One simple egg carries enough biological power to help build muscles, fuel the brain, support hormones, [music] and keep billions of cells alive every second. And your body knows exactly what to do with it.
