Nutrition researcher and coauthor of a 2021 PLOS Medicine study on egg and cholesterol consumption and mortality
In multivariable-adjusted models, hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) associated with each intake of an additional half of a whole egg per day were 1.07 (1.06-1.08) for all-cause mortality, 1.07 (1.06-1.09) for CVD mortality, and 1.07 (1.06-1.09) for cancer mortality.

Disputed The PLOS Medicine article at the supplied URL, published on 2021-02-09, does contain this sentence in its abstract, but the stored quote is not fully verbatim because the source reads “the hazard ratios ...” and the submission omits “the.” The article also lists eight individual authors—Pan Zhuang, Fei Wu, Lei Mao, Fanghuan Zhu, Yiju Zhang, Xiaoqian Chen, Jingjing Jiao, and Yu Zhang—so this cannot be verified here as a single-author quote attributable solely to Lei Mao.
