Updated evidence no longer specifically calls out dietary cholesterol as a threat to heart health, and puts eggs, in moderation, back on a heart-healthy menu.

Statement relation comments

AI Verified Relevant: the quote directly addresses eggs and heart health, saying newer evidence does not treat dietary cholesterol as a heart threat and that eggs in moderation belong on a heart-healthy menu; in the article’s eggs section, it is presented as a reason to bring eggs back into the weekly routine, which makes the author’s stance on the statement determinable.

AI Verified The quote says updated evidence no longer treats dietary cholesterol as a heart threat and puts eggs, "in moderation," on a "heart-healthy menu." In context, the article adds that eggs are worth bringing back into a weekly routine, so the author is opposing the claim that eating eggs regularly increases cardiovascular disease risk, at least when consumed in moderation.
