Some observational studies suggest that people who consume more eggs are more at risk of coronary heart disease. But the associations in these studies aren’t causal, and people who eat more eggs also tend to smoke more, drink more alcohol, exercise less, and generally live unhealthier lifestyles. So observational studies are an unreliable way to determine the effect of eggs on heart disease risk.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote is directly on the complete statement: it says observational studies linking egg intake to coronary heart disease are non-causal because egg eaters differ on smoking, alcohol, exercise, and overall lifestyle, and it concludes such studies are unreliable for determining eggs’ effect on heart disease risk. That makes a stance on the statement clearly determinable. ([secondnature.io](https://www.secondnature.io/us/guides/myth-busting/eggs-cholesterol)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 1h ago

AI Verified The author supports it: the quote says these observational associations “aren’t causal” because egg eaters also differ in smoking, alcohol, exercise, and overall lifestyle, and concludes observational studies are “an unreliable way” to judge eggs’ effect on heart disease risk.

AI Verified The quote appears verbatim on the cited Second Nature page at lines 133–136. That same page credits the article as written by Robbie Puddick (RNutr) and shows “Last updated July 2026,” so the quote, attribution, source URL, and month/year date all match.
