Question

Joe is a college student interested in getting more muscular. A friend suggests that drinking a shake with raw eggs will increase his muscle mass. You tell him that one reason for cooking eggs prior to their consumption is that it releases ____.

Answer 1

Answer:

- Iron and biotin.

Explanation:

As per the question, one reason that would justify the claim that Joe should cook eggs prior to consumption is that 'cooking releases the more iron and biotin' to be absorbed by the body and promotes bodybuilding. The studies have revealed that our body is more prone to absorbing protein from cooked eggs and absorbs around 90% of the protein from them as compared to 50-60% of the raw eggs. However, the raw eggs are prescribed to be included in shakes as a quick way to build muscles but it possesses dangers like salmonella. Thus, cooked ones are prescribed as healthy and safe.
