Both liver and blood contain many enzymes which remove polypeptides rather fast, but that means that when we eat raw meat the liver must work harder.

RAW EGG WHITE - HARMFUL OR NOT

Biotin is an essential water soluble vitamin which can be rendered unavailable by egg white ! Many clinical nutrition books discuss biotin (one of the water soluble vitamin B complex) as being an essential nutrient which can be bound by avidin, which is found in raw egg white. This binding prevents it's absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. Fortunately cooking deactivates this effect of avidin, and egg yolk is so high in biotin content that biotin deficiency does not occur when whole raw eggs are fed. So, whilst biotin deficiency is a potential problem - in reality it is unlikely to be seen in domesticated animals unless they are fed an extremely imbalanced ration that is predominantly egg white.
On the positive side - raw chicken egg white does of course have some nutritional value and contains the following :

I eat raw eggs and add powdered egg whites to my protein shakes.
I've tried the liquid egg whites that come in cartons and every one of them has given the wind (and it stank like rotten eggs!).
If you do try raw eggs, make sure you buy fresh free-range or organic eggs. The regular battery eggs are poor quality, and often contain detectable levels of estrogen (and other steriods).
Break the eggs into a glass, add a dash of milk (not too much), stir it all around, and walla! you have a brilliant breakfast meal in fifteen seconds. My junior school principal used to call them "New Yorkers". Not sure if the NY guys know anything about that.

I personally rate raw whole eggs over raw egg whites because the yolk has most of the nutrients. Google t-nation.com for "dietary cholesterol+egg whites" for some of the reasons.

Yeah, 2 tablespoons of natty peanut butter, 2 scoops of chocolate whey, about half a cup of egg whites, and half cup raw oats in 12 ounces of water, ya can't go wrong! Three of those kinda shakes a day and about 4 big meals is the easiest way to make sure your calories are up high enough to be bulking.
