Epidemiologist and coauthor of a European Journal of Nutrition meta-analysis on egg consumption and cardiovascular risk
Given the inconsistency of current findings on egg consumption and risk of CVD, future studies should improve the characterization of the population investigated, aiming to identify and remove genetic bias, such as the determinants of normal/hyper-response to dietary cholesterol.

Disputed The source URL is fetchable and contains the sentence verbatim in the article’s Conclusion. The Springer page also shows the publication date as 31 August 2020. However, the article is a multi-author paper—Justyna Godos, Agnieszka Micek, Tomasz Brzostek, Estefania Toledo, Licia Iacoviello, Arne Astrup, Oscar H. Franco, Fabio Galvano, Miguel A. Martinez-Gonzalez, and Giuseppe Grosso—so this cannot be verified as a quote by Licia Iacoviello alone. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 39min ago
