Cardiologist and clinical researcher; coauthor of a 2019 JAMA study on egg consumption and cardiovascular outcomes
In men, each additional half an egg consumed per day was not significantly associated with a higher relative risk (RR) of incident CVD (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.03 [95% CI, 0.99-1.08]) and a higher absolute risk of incident CVD (adjusted absolute risk difference [ARD], 1.02% [95% CI, -0.34% to 2.38%]) over a follow-up of 30 years.

Disputed The sentence does appear in the cited JAMA article’s Figure 7 text, but the source is a multi-author paper credited to Victor W. Zhong, Linda Van Horn, Marilyn C. Cornelis, et al., with Robert J. Mentz listed as one coauthor rather than the sole speaker/author. Under this verification rule set, a quote from a source with multiple individual authors cannot be confirmed as a single-author quote attributed only to Robert J. Mentz. The article was published online March 19, 2019. ([jamanetwork.com](https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2728487)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 41min ago
