Medical researcher and coauthor of a European Journal of Nutrition meta-analysis on egg consumption and cardiovascular risk

Disputed The sentence appears verbatim in the Springer article at the provided URL, aside from the source’s inline citation marker after “ABCG8,” and the page shows publication on 2020-08-31. However, the article is credited to multiple individual authors (including Tomasz Brzostek) rather than to Tomasz Brzostek alone, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote.
