Nutrition and dietetics researcher; coauthor of a 2025 Nutrients study on egg consumption and mortality in older adults
Egg consumption was self-reported, risking recall bias. The type of egg, method preparation, and serving sizes were not captured, affecting the ability to attribute nutritional value of egg consumption within the overall diet [11], and serving sizes were also not recorded.

Disputed The quoted sentence appears verbatim on the MDPI source page in the paper’s Study Strengths and Limitations section, and the page shows the publication date as 2025-01-17. However, the article is a multi-author academic paper and the wording is not attributed to Tracy McCaffrey alone; the source lists multiple individual authors, including Holly Wild, Danijela Gasevic, Robyn L. Woods, Joanne Ryan, Rory Wolfe, Yuquan Chen, Thara Govindaraju, John J. McNeil, Tracy McCaffrey, and Alice J. Owen. Because this platform cannot verify a multi-author paper as a single-author quote, the stored attribution is disputed.
