[edit] Medicinal characteristics
Where does this information about the supposed medicinal characteristics of ovalbumin come from? I spent quite a bit of time researching this and couldn't find anything to verify these claims. Furthermore it could be dangerous if someone with heavy metal poisoning followed this advice and didn't seek further medical assistance. Juicy-one 03:17, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- Here's a site that says that ovalbumin binds to Copper and Zinc: [1]. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bibliomaniac15 (talk • contribs) 05:29, 8 February 2007 (UTC).
- I wrote that portion of the article, it comes directly out of my medical school textbook "Medical Biochemistry, Baynes + Dominiczak, 2nd edition, p59" AStudent 11:53, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- "it could be dangerous if someone with heavy metal poisoning followed this advice [...]" - Wikipedia should be informative, not an idiot's guide to life. Icek 00:12, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Other Sources
I read elsewhere that milk also contains significant amounts of ovalbumin. Anyone able to verify this? I'm not confident adding it based on an internet reference. Morgrim (talk) 01:05, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
