Public health researcher and coauthor of a 2023 AJCN study on egg consumption and genetic susceptibility to coronary artery disease
When stratified by genetic risk, each increment of 3 eggs/wk was associated with a 5% higher risk of CAD for participants at low to intermediate genetic risk (HR: 1.05; 95% CI: 1.01, 1.09), whereas risk increased to HR 1.10 (95% CI: 1.05, 1.16) for those at high genetic risk; a significant synergistic interaction was also indicated at both multiplicative (P interaction = 0.007) and additive (relative excess risk: 0.73; 95% CI: 0.24, 1.22) scales.

Disputed The quoted sentence appears verbatim in the ScienceDirect abstract of the article, and the paper was published online on August 21, 2023. However, the source lists multiple coauthors (including Ling Yu) rather than attributing the text to Ling Yu alone, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author Ling Yu quote.
