Epidemiology researcher and coauthor of a 2023 AJCN study on egg consumption and genetic susceptibility to coronary artery disease
When the joint effect was examined, in comparison with those at low to intermediate genetic risk and consuming <1 egg/wk, the HR (95% CI) was 2.95 (2.41, 3.62) for participants with high genetic risk and consumption of >=10 eggs/wk, and the corresponding standardized 10-y CAD rates increased from 1.37% to 4.24%.

Disputed The sentence is real and appears in the abstract at the cited ScienceDirect/AJCN source, with the source showing the paper was published online on August 21, 2023. However, it is not attributable to Xueli Yang alone: the source is a multi-author journal article listing many individual authors, including Xueli Yang as one coauthor, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote.
