A member asked:
Allergist told me that allergen is in egg whites, not in the yolk. is that really true? i swear i'm ok w/ eggbeaters, can't breathe if i eat fried egg

Not true: People can be allergic to either the white or the yolk. Your experience has proven it. Having said that, over 50% of the egg-allergic people can tolerate cooked but not raw or partially cooked egg.
