Introduction
This video identifies three antinutrients present in a carnivore diet and explains how to eliminate them. The speaker focuses on antinutrients found in raw egg whites and provides a simple solution to mitigate their effects.
Key Takeaways
Avidin (AEN): Found in raw egg whites, it blocks biotin (vitamin B7) absorption, potentially causing hair loss, brittle nails, fatigue, and skin issues. Cooking egg whites eliminates avidin.
Ovomucoid: Also found in raw egg whites, it's a protein blocker inhibiting trypsin, a protein digestion enzyme. This can lead to protein loss, bloating, discomfort, and muscle loss. Cooking egg whites eliminates ovomucoid.
Ovostatin: Present in raw egg whites, it inhibits multiple digestive enzymes, slowing protein breakdown and absorption. This can cause sluggish digestion, inefficient nutrient absorption, and gut discomfort. Cooking egg whites eliminates ovostatin.
Solution: Cooking egg whites eliminates all three antinutrients (avidin, ovomucoid, and ovostatin). Raw egg yolks do not contain these antinutrients.
