Re: egg whites

[MaryBTodd]

Hi Nancy - and everybody else - 

It's only *raw* egg whites that bind the whatever nutrient - I remember that 
the name of the "binder" is 'avidin' - I guess I remember that name because 
it is "avid" for the vitamin or whatever, but I don't remember what vitamin - 
a B? an E? - it binds to... but avidin is denatured by heat, so *cooked* egg 
whites are ok.
