Neither whole eggs nor egg whites should be a cause of concern for people with high cholesterol, as they will not affect cholesterol levels much. In fact, they can be beneficial to heart health and cholesterol levels if they are used to replace relatively 'unhealthier' sources of protein in the diet, such as red meat or other meats high in saturated fat.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified Relevant: the quote directly discusses egg consumption in relation to cholesterol and heart health, and the source article frames whole eggs as compatible with a heart-healthy diet, so it provides enough signal to determine the author's stance on the claim about eggs increasing cardiovascular risk.

AI Verified The quote directly opposes the statement: it says eggs "will not affect cholesterol levels much" and can even be "beneficial to heart health" when replacing less healthy proteins. The source article reinforces this by saying people with high cholesterol can eat a whole egg every day as part of a heart-healthy diet.
