Research suggests the answer is more nuanced: for most people, eating eggs in moderation as part of an overall heart-healthy diet does not appear to raise blood cholesterol or increase heart disease risk, though some individuals may need to be more cautious.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified Relevant. In context, the article is about eating eggs every day, and the quote directly addresses the statement’s core causal claim by saying that for most people egg consumption in moderation does not appear to increase heart disease risk, while noting exceptions for some individuals. That makes a determinable stance on the full statement substantially more likely.

AI Verified Against — the quote says that for most people, eating eggs in moderation "does not appear to ... increase heart disease risk," which directly cuts against the claim that regular egg eating increases cardiovascular risk; the article also frames caution as applying mainly to some higher-risk groups.
