It seems that egg proteins are of the hardest to digest, but perhaps the most rewarding to digest when done properly. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/151413/eggs-have-anti-nutrients-ohnoes/151416#151416 Answer by nursling for Eggs have anti-nutrients! ohnoes! nursling 2012-09-23T05:29:44Z 2012-09-23T05:36:18Z <p>just eat the yolks. raw. that's where all the nutrients are anyway. the GAPS diet suggests this and allergies/irritation/problems with eggs tend to be from the white.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/151413/eggs-have-anti-nutrients-ohnoes/151440#151440 Answer by Matt for Eggs have anti-nutrients! ohnoes! Matt 2012-09-23T14:03:17Z 2012-09-23T18:26:06Z <p>No food wants to be eaten. There's all sorts of cross reactivity between human protein and plant/animal proteins/compounds. It's just silly to fret obcessively over tiny potential interactions between our bodies and food. Humans are resilient and able to cope with these interactions. </p> <p>Just eat real food. </p> <p>More to the point: If you can't eat eggs, don't. If you can eat eggs, don't sweat the little details. </p>
