Teaser--you can eat raw eggs without worry! The biotin in the egg yolk way offsets any avidin (biotin binder) in the egg whites. Raw eggs are a fantastic food--I try and eat one every day in a smoothie. My great uncle ate one every day--just slurped it down in a glass--and he lived to be 103, so it must not have hurt him.

Regarding raw meat--I'm very curious about how well humans can actually handle raw meat, but far to squeamish to give it a try, can't even handle the idea of sushi. I suspect with some microbiota adjustment in the intestines, we would do okay with it, as these posters seem to corroborate. My dog does fantastically well on it, but our intestines are far different from a dog.
