People with higher egg intake were generally less healthy in many ways, and we recognize that our results could be affected by unmeasured or residual confounding. However, we were able to account for many dietary and lifestyle covariates, including dietary variables typically associated with egg intake such as red and processed meats.

Disputed The quoted passage does appear in the March 4, 2020 BMJ article and in the ResearchGate copy of that article, but the source attributes the text to a multi-author paper, not to Meir J. Stampfer alone. The article is by Jean-Philippe Drouin-Chartier, Siyu Chen, Yanping Li, Amanda L. Schwab, Meir J. Stampfer, Frank M. Sacks, Bernard Rosner, Walter C. Willett, Frank B. Hu, and Shilpa N. Bhupathiraju. The stored text also omits the opening words "Additionally in our cohorts," so it is not an exact single-author quote.
