Relevant: in the source article, Barnard says “bacon and eggs” and other animal products high in saturated fat and cholesterol are driving heart disease, so the quote treats eggs as part of a causal dietary pattern that raises cardiovascular risk. It does not isolate eggs or define “regularly,” but it still makes support for the statement substantially more likely than the alternatives.

The quote says "bacon and eggs ... and other animal products loaded with saturated fat and cholesterol are driving America’s epidemics of ... heart disease," which strongly implies the author believes eating eggs contributes to increased heart/cardiovascular disease risk, even though eggs are mentioned as part of a broader category rather than analyzed alone.
