So recently, my mom showed me this part in a drama she was watching and it showed these two singers drinking raw eggs. I was wondering, does it make your throat better, or make you have a better voice? o__o

sorry if this is in the wrong section x_x

LOL

the only reason i know people drink raw egg is for the calories during workout. like rocky!

are the singers really buff?

If anything, it'll give you salmonella poisoning. While the idea of eating raw eggs or using them on the body to solve a multitude of problems is popular, you should never EVER eat eggs, meat, or poultry completely raw because the bacteria could make you severely ill. If you're really set on doing the raw egg thing, get pasteurized eggs because they'll be less likely to carry any disease causing bacteria.

EDIT: I said "possible" instead of "popular," which I meant.

isnt it suppose to be mixed with milk or somethin`?
but i saw it in My Girl. LOL
it was mixed with liquor or somethin` to make colds go away.

really? i've never heard anything like that ^^" but some of the stuff in dramas r not really true so yeah....

That drink is for when you have a hangover.

Raw eggs can give you salmonella and you don't want it.. Trust me. I had to watch a video about a guy that caught it last year. xD I've never heard of using raw eggs to make your voice better.

OH. lol oy. >.< well then forget what i said.

I heard that protein helps you sing better. My friend in chorus was instructed to "not eat tomatoes, and eat meat" because tomatoes create phlegm. Uhh, not sure if this is totally valid though.

yeah and how do u know this?

I dont know. Some vocalists I know pierce a raw egg with a chopstick and drink the yolk the night before a performance. Risky, but yeah.

UUGGHH My friend made me do that once..... =_=
i felt like throwing up.. the smell was horrible!
It didn't help me at all....
but it.. MIGHT just be me.

actually yes, singers in my country do practice drinking raw eggs.
it's somewhat a popular traditional method to strengthen your voice.
i don't know the logic behind it, but i've done it before when i was like, 7 or 8? lol
that was the only time i did it.

slurping raw eggs... is not my idea of improving my voice.

but i want to improve it... but i don't wanna get some weird disease...

blah. i want magic powers.

but then again that wouldn't make me a great singer, just a fake, which i hate.

darn.

hahaha. i got so off topic.

ohh rofl thanks
hahah i would try it but i don't want salmonella poising x__x
does anything help your voice to get better?

im not realli sure what it does
but i heard that it does improve ur vocals or something
i remember my bro tried that like 5 years ago
for like 4 days
i swear he nearly threw up everytime cause it was so gross..
im not sure what salmonella poisoning is, but im pretty sure he didnt get it
so what is it?

salmonella is a bacteria that's found in poultry, eggs, meat, milk, etc.
its a kind of food poisoning and it makes you throw up, and stuff.

my friend had salmonella once.. when she was like 7 or 8 but her mom said she got it from birds? like parrots? im so confused..
but my friend from italy said that when ever she goes to italy for vacation and goes to her grandma's farm and she always eats raw eggs..

I thought you only get salmonella when you dont wash eggs off of kitchenware and bacteria grows on it and such. :X
