The quote is directly on the statement’s issue: in source context, the article argues egg yolks are not the main driver of heart-disease risk, says saturated fat is the bigger culprit, and uses this quote to explain that eggs are often blamed for risk actually driven by accompanying high-saturated-fat foods. That makes a determinate stance on the complete statement substantially more likely. ([nationalgeographic.com](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/health/article/egg-yolks-cholesterol-heart-disease))

The quote argues that "the biggest dietary driver" is saturated fat, not cholesterol in eggs, and says "it’s not the eggs that are the problem." In the article’s context, egg yolks are presented as not strongly linked to heart disease, so the author is opposing the claim that regularly eating eggs itself increases cardiovascular risk.

The quote is authentic. The National Geographic article at the cited URL, published February 25, 2026, contains both quoted sentences verbatim and attributes each to Keith Ayoob: “The biggest dietary driver of blood cholesterol is not cholesterol in food but saturated fat,” and later, “When people demonize eggs, it’s not the eggs that are the problem—it’s what you’re having them with.” The ellipsis represents omitted intervening text, so the stored author, date, source URL, and content are correct.
