I don't know anything about damaged fats and didn't realize there was a health issue about how eggs are cooked. But I was just reading this passage from Thin For Good by Fred Pescatore (he was the Associate Medical Director of the Atkins Center for years and then split off with his own LC plan). I found it interesting.

"If you purchase nothing else that's organic, please buy and eat only organic eggs. There is a significant difference in chemical composition between eggs that are conventially raised and those that are organic. This simple and not much more expensive purchase makes eggs a great source of nutrition. Organic eggs contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the beneficial ratio of 1 to 1. Commercial eggs, on the other hand, contain up to nineteen times more omega-6 than omega-3 fatty acids, making them much less healthy. It's not the cholesterol, but rather the poorly balanced fatty acid ratio that is the menacing culprit in eggs."

I can't believe you tried eating them raw! I'm not the only one with an eating disorder!
