Egg coffee, also known as Vietnamese Egg Coffee, is gaining popularity on social media for its creamy and frothy texture. However, experts warn of significant health risks associated with its frequent consumption. The drink, which combines coffee with raw egg yolk, poses a risk of foodborne illnesses, particularly from Salmonella bacteria found in raw eggs. This risk is heightened for vulnerable populations such as pregnant women, children, and the elderly. Additionally, many recipes for egg coffee include high amounts of sugar and condensed milk, contributing to excessive calorie intake and potential weight gain. Those with pre-existing health conditions like heart disease or diabetes should also be cautious due to the high cholesterol content in egg yolks. Furthermore, excessive caffeine from coffee can lead to anxiety and sleep disturbances. Experts recommend enjoying egg coffee occasionally and using pasteurized eggs to minimize health risks.
