Nevertheless, for some people — called “hyper-responders” — eating cholesterol will raise blood levels. Hyper-responders have genes, such as the APoE4 gene, that predispose them to high cholesterol. For people with this gene or individuals with high cholesterol, egg whites may be a better choice.AI Verified source (May 8, 2026)

The quote says only some hyper-responders see higher blood cholesterol from eggs, making it directly relevant to the broad cardiovascular-risk claim.

Because the quote limits increased cholesterol response to some people rather than the general population, the correct stance on the blanket risk claim is abstain.

Relevant: in context, the source says egg cholesterol is not a problem for most people, but some genetically predisposed 'hyper-responders' react differently and may be better off choosing egg whites. That directly connects genetic variation to why general population-level egg guidance may not fit particular individuals, making a determinate stance on the statement substantially more likely.

The source says egg cholesterol is 'not a problem for most people,' but 'for some people — called hyper-responders' with genes such as ApoE4, eating cholesterol raises blood levels and 'egg whites may be a better choice.' That strongly implies individual genetic variation can make general egg advice not fit some individuals.
