Northwestern epidemiologist.
We want to remind people there is cholesterol in eggs, specifically yolks, and this has a harmful effect. Eat them in moderation.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified Relevant: in the cited article, this quote is presented as the author's reason for limiting egg consumption—egg yolks contain cholesterol, and 'this has a harmful effect'—within source context explicitly about higher egg/cholesterol intake being associated with higher cardiovascular disease risk. That makes a determinate stance on the complete statement substantially more likely.

AI Verified The quote says eggs’ cholesterol, especially in yolks, “has a harmful effect” and tells people to “Eat them in moderation.” In the source article, that harmful effect is specifically presented as increased cardiovascular/heart disease risk from higher egg consumption, so the author is supporting the statement, though “regularly” is inferred from the article’s egg-consumption context rather than said verbatim in the quote.

AI Verified The ScienceDaily page dated 2019-03-15 contains this wording—presented as two quoted sentences separated by an attribution clause (“said Allen ...”)—and attributes it to Allen; Northwestern’s original release repeats the same quote, and Northwestern identifies her full name as Norrina Bai Allen.
