Can white wine and egg yolk enhance sexual performance?

It is a folk saying that adding white wine and egg yolk can enhance sexual function, but there is actually no scientific basis for this. On the one hand, this way of eating will make the food fishy and taste worse. On the other hand, raw egg yolks contain a variety of bacteria, such as Salmonella, which can easily lead to poisoning and cause symptoms such as diarrhea. In addition, the protein in raw eggs is not easily absorbed by the human body.

The dangers of eating raw eggs

(1) Raw eggs are difficult to digest and waste nutrients. The human body digests and absorbs the protein in eggs mainly through pepsin and trypsin in the small intestine. The egg white in raw eggs contains an anti-trypsin substance that will hinder the digestion and absorption of protein. In cooked eggs, the anti-trypsin substance no longer exists, so it is easy for the human body to digest and absorb.

(2) Raw eggs contain avidin and an antibiotic protein. Eating raw eggs frequently can cause the avidin in them to make vitamin B in food ineffective, and the antibiotic protein will accumulate in the human body. Excessive accumulation will hinder the body's absorption of biotin, which is one of the vitamins needed by the human body. If the human body lacks biotin, it will suffer from loss of appetite, mental fatigue, skin inflammation, desquamation and hair loss, weight loss, and affect physical health.

(3) About 10% of fresh eggs contain pathogenic Salmonella, mold or parasite eggs. If the eggs are not fresh, the bacteria rate will be higher. Bacteria can enter the eggs directly from the hen's ovaries, or they can be contaminated by bacteria in the anus onto the eggshell when the eggs are laid, and then enter the eggs through the pores in the eggshell. These bacteria are afraid of high temperatures. Boiling the eggs for 8 to 10 minutes will kill the bacteria inside and outside the eggs.

Some parents mix eggs with boiling water and add sugar for their children to drink. Since the bacteria and parasite eggs in the eggs cannot be completely killed, they can easily cause diarrhea and parasitic diseases. If there is salmonella in eggs, it can also cause food poisoning. It has been recently discovered that eggshells may carry 0-157 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli. Even if the amount of bacteria is very small, it is enough to cause food poisoning if the eggs are eaten raw. Some people use eating raw eggs to treat children's constipation. This not only fails to cure constipation, but also transmits the zoonotic disease toxoplasmosis. The disease develops rapidly, and almost all organs in the body are invaded by Toxoplasma gondii, causing lesions. In severe cases, it can even lead to death.

(4) Eating raw eggs can easily lead to infectious diseases. Because raw eggs contain a large number of bacteria, especially eggs laid by sick chickens, eating them raw may cause symptoms such as retching, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and general weakness.
