I like but you're getting them and they're accumulating these polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons so an experiment that I've been doing personally I don't recommend if anyone is doing raw or mostly raw products I really like raw liver we can talk about the safety of that I like raw egg yolks we can talk about the safety of that I've been eating my meat raw or I've just sorted blanching it you know just cooking the outside of it briefly to get rid of anything that's on the outside and not as worried about the interior of a steak if we're thinking about food safety people need to be aware of the quality of their meat people can definitely get sick eating raw ground beef I would not recommend anyone regular conventional eggs are going to have a much higher rate of contamination on the shell of the egg that's a thing if you're getting organic eggs if you're getting eggs from your garden or your farmer those are pretty clean and they're pretty safe to eat raw especially the yolk the problem with an egg is that the contaminants are on the shell well if you are eating a raw yolk the shell isn't really touching the yolk it's pretty safe but again if people are weak or they're frail or they're sick cook your food I would never recommend anything that's raw or undercooked to a pregnant woman or to someone that already has a disease cook your food it's okay you're gonna lose some of the nutrients think about how you cook it but it's not gonna lose all of them
