Everyone recalls the iconic movie "Rocky" and its star hero, Rocky Balboa, downing dozens of raw eggs before his morning cardio routine. While the scene is inspirational, the mystery of how Rocky survived potential Salmonella contamination lingers. Consuming raw eggs poses health risks due to the bacteria, making protein whey powders a compelling alternative to nature's gift. Even when eggs are cooked, protein powder may still emerge victorious as eggs contain high cholesterol and can be hard on digestion for some. Nature, it seems, may not always triumph over synthetics. Artificial ingredients in powders, however, can be a concern for some. The choice ultimately rests with you, but choosing wisely is crucial. While Rocky might conquer bacteria, the average person may not be as invincible. For those who may not favor eggs or meats, the prudent choice leans towards protein powders.
