Disputed The submitted source URL (PMID 16340654) is a different 2006 single-author review by Maria Luz Fernandez, Dietary cholesterol provided by eggs and plasma lipoproteins in healthy populations. The accessible excerpt discusses hyperresponders and says that 70% of the population has only a mild or no plasma-cholesterol response, and a text search of that fetchable page finds no match for the submitted sentence. ([deepdyve.com](https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/doc/vopkSr6QAU)) The exact submitted sentence does appear in a different 2006 paper, Plasma LDL and HDL characteristics and carotenoid content are positively influenced by egg consumption in an elderly population (PMID 16398934), but that article has multiple individual authors—Christine M Greene, David Waters, Richard M Clark, John H Contois, and Maria Luz Fernandez—so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author Maria Luz Fernandez quote.
