The study doesn't touch on the way it's prepared specifically. What we do know is that the different fats and saturated fats, if you fry your eggs versus boiling it, does seem to make a difference.

That supports the claim, though the quote is aimed at this study more than every observational nutrition study.

Eggs are a net-beneficial food for the general population

I think that this study shows that it could be beneficial and that it's something that I recommend to my patients for eating a well-balanced, healthy diet. I think there's no magic bullet and part of healthy living is eating a balanced diet. I don't ...
