I advise caution only for those with familial hypercholesterolemia or people who have very high LDL levels despite treatment.

AI Verified Relevant: in the source context, the speaker says eggs are fine for most people but recommends caution for those with familial hypercholesterolemia or persistently high LDL, explicitly carving out an individual-risk exception tied in part to a genetic condition. That gives a clear enough signal about individualized egg advice, even without mentioning 'hyper-responders' by name.

AI Verified The quote carves out a special caution group—people with familial hypercholesterolemia or persistently high LDL—while saying eggs are fine "for everyone else." That strongly implies individual biological differences create exceptions to broad egg advice; the genetic-variation part is inferred mainly from the familial hypercholesterolemia example, not an explicit mention of "hyper-responders."
