Eat less than seven eggs per week. People with type 2 diabetes or those with high cholesterol should eat no more than seven eggs per week. Research shows that eating eggs can raise LDL-cholesterol. In people with type 2 diabetes, eating more than seven eggs has been linked with an increased risk of heart disease. Limiting eggs can help manage cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease, especially for those who are already at higher risk.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified The quote is directly about the statement’s core issue: it says egg consumption can raise LDL-cholesterol and links eating more than seven eggs to increased heart-disease risk in a defined higher-risk group, while recommending limiting eggs to reduce risk. That is narrower than the complete statement, but it still provides enough signal that the author’s stance on whether regular egg intake increases cardiovascular risk is determinable.

AI Verified for — The quote says eating eggs can raise LDL cholesterol and that, in people with type 2 diabetes, eating more than seven eggs is linked to increased heart-disease risk. That strongly implies support for the statement, though the evidence in the quote is framed especially for higher-risk groups rather than everyone. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 3mo ago
