Disputed The sentence is real and verbatim: the article’s abstract/conclusion states, “These findings suggest that consumption of up to 1 egg per day is unlikely to have substantial overall impact on the risk of CHD or stroke among healthy men and women,” and the paper was published in JAMA on April 21, 1999. Web results for PMID 10217054 also reproduce the same conclusion text under the PubMed record. But the source is a multi-author journal article credited to Frank B. Hu, Meir J. Stampfer, Eric B. Rimm, et al., not to Frank B. Hu alone, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote.
