clouds on nail of ring finger
After eating partially-cooked egg whites every day for four and half years, I am reversing course (at least temporarily). My fingernails (especially the one on my right-hand ring finger) have not been as healthy as I’d wish. My fingernails have had periodic problems for almost 20 years which I have attributed to periodic bouts with poison ivy; since I have not had any poison ivy rash at all this summer, I had reason to look at other possible causes.

So maybe my 4 micro-waved, partially-cooked egg whites that I’ve been eating daily had too much avidin remaining in them and bound up biotin. For the last week, I have been throwing the egg whites away while still eating raw egg yolks in my smoothies. And I will be supplementing with Biotin pills for as long as one bottle lasts. It will take a while before seeing the results on my nails.

Hey Mark,
thank you very much for your blog. I am also researching on this topic and have found some interesting studies and outcomes, which I want to share with you gradually.
For now I bookmarked your page and I will visit your site regularly!
