The nutritional content of different brands varies, but not by much. In the 13 eggnogs we recently reviewed, the regular dairy versions had to calories, 9 grams of fat, and 11 to 14 grams of added sugars. Adding an ounce a little less than a shot glass of rum, brandy, or other type of spirits tacks on 65 calories. But the added sugars content is similar to or only slightly lower than regular eggnog. For example, Hood's Golden Eggnog has calories, 9 grams fat, and 16 grams of added sugars.
Its Light Eggnog has calories and 4 grams fat, but the same amount of added sugars. Among the ones we looked at, the dairy eggnogs with the least added sugars were regular Organic Valley Eggnog and Trader Joe's Lite Eggnog, both with 11 grams per half-cup.
Holiday eggnog made from nut or soy milk will give you the flavor of the season, and it tends to be lower in calories and saturated fat because it doesn't contain cream, eggs, or milk.
Many of ones we looked at were also lower in added sugars than dairy versions. Homemade eggnogs can be even higher in calories, fat, and sugars than commercial versions. Using a traditional eggnog recipe spiked with bourbon or rum, Keating calculates that a half-cup serving contains calories, 17 grams of fat, and 18 grams of sugars. You can lighten up a recipe by substituting half and half for heavy cream and using about half the sugar called for.
Another advantage of making your own is that you can avoid processed ingredients, such as artificial and natural flavors, artificial colors, and thickeners such as gums or carrageenan. All of the eggnogs we looked at had at least one of these, but Organic Valley Eggnog was the dairy option that had the fewest, containing only gellan gum but no artificial or natural flavors. None of the vegan versions had carrageenan or artificial flavors or colors.
The tradition started with Rebecca Lancefield , the former joint head of the lab, and the current head Vincent Fischetti took over when Dr. Lancefield died in The scientists purposefully added salmonella to a batch of eggnog to mimic what might happen if a contaminated egg made it in.
Over several weeks, they tested the eggnog for evidence of the salmonella. It should be noted that even with these data, the scientists did not drink from the contaminated batch of eggnog. And, while it is an intriguing experiment, it was just a small sample size and Dr. Fischetti tells me that there are no plans to run a follow up. This year, I decided to forgo my family eggnog sorry, Mom and try out Dr.
I left out the additional experimental bacteria, of course. I made a batch on November 24th and I plan to serve it at a party later this week. Using the same numbers and assumptions, and assuming that everybody in the entire United States eats one raw egg a day, we would have more than illnesses due to eggs each day, and over the course of the year almost 2,, illnesses.
Though you have never gotten sick, the possibility for salmonella contamination is there. Good God people, if YOU want to live your life like a toddler, do so, but you need not spread your mental illness to other people.
I completely agree. Even if you do happen to be extremely unlucky, salmonella often lasts less than a few days with minor symptoms…. I nearly died of Septic Shock, after being totally poisoned with E coli from eating medium rare prime rib from the best butcher in town.
Three of us all ate prime rib, I was the only one who got sick. I spent 8 days in Intensive Care, lost half my hair, and all control of my arm and leg muscles. My case is considered to be a medical miracle. Your goal is to reduce risk variables when you can as they ALL add up to increase your chance of injury or illness.
Playing Russian roulette with a 60, round revolver loaded with one round may not be so dangerous, but what about revolvers like it every day? Perfectly safe? Absolutely not. However, raw eggs contain avidin which binds biotin Vitamin B7. So your raw egg smoothies are keeping valuable biotin from being digested. Just a thought, but scramble those eggs instead. Cooking denatures the avidin, degrading its biotin binding capability.
No one has ever gotten sick, no one has ever died. Every last drop in the bowl is gone. People love it. December 15, Matt Shipman. Actually, they are. Only if you like really strong eggnog.
