Balsamic Vinegar whilst pregnant. Yes or no?

[Pearls18]

My doctor said runny eggs were fine, he looked at me like a crazy woman when I asked if I could have them.

Yeah, I heard that too. I read that salmonella from eggs actually comes from the outside of the egg, on the surface of the shell. If you wash the egg in hot soapy water, it will kill the salmonella. The salmonella isn't from the egg white or the yoke. The inside of the egg is sterile.

So I can see not eating runny eggs at a restaurant, but at home I feel safe eating them.

I love runny eggs on buttery toast... *drool....*

I heard that because chickens are vaccinated against salmonella now that if you use 'lion' eggs perhaps others too (quality standard in the UK) you're fine anyways. I love fried eggs mmm.

Ugh, just when I thought it was ok. Who told you this? Your doc?

I dont usually cook it but avoiding rind is easy.

I'm going to ask my mw at my 1st appt. In 2 weeks.

Yeah my doctor told me. I was craving brie and asked if I could have some if it was pasteurized.

The inside of eggs are not sterile. Salmonella does exist inside of eggs but its rare (I think 1:20,000) and I am pretty certain the outside of most eggs sold in the US are cleaned with a special detergent anyway to kill salmonella from the shells.

Again, its very rare but more common than listeria and can be dangerous if you get it so its better to be safe than sorry for a few months while pregnant.
