Food science researcher and coauthor of a 2021 PLOS Medicine study on egg and cholesterol consumption and mortality
The current recommendations for egg and dietary cholesterol intake from the US dietary guidelines might lead to increases in cholesterol intake, which could be detrimental to the prevention of premature death. Clinicians and policy makers should continue to highlight limiting cholesterol intake in the US dietary recommendations, considering our results.

Disputed The quote is real and appears verbatim at the source URL in the article’s “Author summary” under “What do these findings mean?”; the page also shows the publication date as February 9, 2021. However, it is not attributable to Yiju Zhang alone: the article is a multi-author work by Pan Zhuang, Fei Wu, Lei Mao, Fanghuan Zhu, Yiju Zhang, Xiaoqian Chen, Jingjing Jiao, and Yu Zhang, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote by Yiju Zhang.
