Nutrition researcher at Zhejiang University and coauthor of a 2021 PLOS Medicine study on egg and cholesterol consumption and mortality
After multivariable adjustment, intakes of whole eggs and cholesterol were both positively associated with CVD mortality (both P trend < 0.001), whereas the association for egg white/substitute consumption did not appear significant. We observed similar associations with heart disease mortality.

Disputed The quoted text appears verbatim in the PLOS Medicine article at the provided URL, in the section on CVD mortality: “After multivariable adjustment... We observed similar associations with heart disease mortality.” The article was published on 2021-02-09. However, the source is a multi-author research paper credited to Pan Zhuang, Fei Wu, Lei Mao, Fanghuan Zhu, Yiju Zhang, Xiaoqian Chen, Jingjing Jiao, and Yu Zhang, so it is not verifiable here as a single-author quote by Jingjing Jiao alone. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 1h ago
